An extract from a new production:
ESTRAGON:
Ah! (Vladimir walks up and down.) Can you not stay still?
VLADIMIR:
I'm cold.
ESTRAGON:
We came too soon.
VLADIMIR:
Maybe my drink was poisoned?
ESTRAGON:
But night doesn't fall.
VLADIMIR:
It'll fall all of a sudden, you just have to keep hold.
ESTRAGON:
Keep hold?
VLADIMIR:
Just hold, don't let go.
ESTRAGON:
What'll we do, what'll we do!
VLADIMIR:
(halting, violently). Will you stop whining! I've had about my bellyful of your lamentations!
ESTRAGON:
I'm going. This is another Imbragimov.
