For Production Histories

Choose one of these landmark productions of GODOT to report on to the group. (Check the COMENTS section below to see if any productions have already been claimed. 

Note: I'm afraid that "landmark" productions may be famous for their oversimplifications of the play's themes. So: while you should certainly report on your production's singular qualities, I'd encourage you to also pay attention to ways that the production deals with the play that any team would need to/want to address.

If you run across a production that isn't listed, but about which you feel passionately, email me and see if it's a good substitute.

There will be some sources for each of these productions online, but the internet is not the only place or way to do research. Reference librarians are your friends.
