FT on Beckett, Keanu and Alex Winter in Godot
"Like his approximate contemporary Bertolt Brecht, Beckett pared language down and reconfigured it into a strange new register to produce effects of absurdity and alienation: too intensely sincere to be ironic or parodic, but too bizarre and blasé to be tragic. You know someone is winking but you’re never sure if you’re in on the joke"
