Godot Has Come
By Minoru Betsuyaku
Presented by Theatre Office Natori
Performed in Japanese with English Supertitles
“Godot Has Come” is a play written by contemporary Japanese playwright Minoru Betsuyaku. It is a tribute to Samuel Beckett’s play “Waiting for Godot.” In Betsuyaku’s play, Godot arrives, but Vladimir and Estragon are too preoccupied with their own lives to notice. “The play is about indifference, and what indifference does to us” (Toshiyuki Natori).
Theatre Office Natori is a Japanese theatre company based in Tokyo, Japan. After becoming independent from a larger production company, Theatre Office Natori embarked on creating work that merges Eastern and Western forms and styles of theatre. Theatre Office Natori works mostly on contemporary Japanese plays because, in Japan, traditional theatre styles, such as Noh and Kabuki, are left to specific theatre companies that specialize in that sort of work. They do, however, include elements from these traditional styles in their contemporary work, which has drawn criticism and pushback from certain groups in Japan.
