A clash of two copyrights

摘要

Should Godot ever appear, he is unlikely to be a woman. Samuel Beckett was known for his near-pedantic stage directions and his aversion to female actors ever playing Estragon or Vladimir. "Women don't have prostates," he explained, justifying why the constantly urinating Vladimir can only be male. If a director tries to stage the play with a female cast, he (or she) is likely to get sued by the Beckett estate.
