Pozzo: No no. Vladimir: Yes yes. Estragon: No no. The plot has no real climax‚ drama or suspense to it‚ which is one of the techniques Beckett uses to challenge theatrical conventions.

The play Waiting for Godot is basically a play were nothing happens. It’s a play about waiting for this person Godot.
