What Lies Before Us

"Morris Panych has done with What Lies Before Us the almost unthinkable: he has turned Waiting for Godot into a comedy while simultaneously heightening rather than minimizing the profound existential questions it asks. But this play is no mere parody of a theater classic, nor is it a "history play." The roots of Panych's comedy extend to the confrontation of Shakespeare's "rude mechanicals" with the "educated betters," and to the fundamentally and hilariously irreconcilable differences between the world views of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza."--BOOK JACKET.
