Question

Why did Herbert Blau decide to stage waiting for godot for the San Quentin audience

Answer 1

Answer:

To prepare the crowd of 1,000-plus inmates for Beckett's now-iconic work about two vagabonds who wait in vain for the title figure to appear, director Herbert Blau gave a curtain speech referencing the prison jazz band that completed a set before the play.

The audience consisted of 1400 convicts at the San Quentin Penitentiary. No live play had been performed at San Quentin since 1913. Now, forty-four years later, the play that had been chosen, largely because no wome n appeared in it, was Samuel Beckett's Waitinq for Godot.
