You Can’t Keep a Wife and a Family on This 21 Acres of Land

Posted in Idle Thoughts on Jul 11th, 2011 3 Comments »

I was away for the last week in the West of Ireland for a short family holiday. Characteristic with such breaks is the ability to distance myself to a certain extent from the media.

And Pozzo and Lucky, have you forgotten them too?

ESTRAGON:
I said, And we?
VLADIMIR:
I don’t understand.
ESTRAGON:
Where do we come in?
VLADIMIR:
Come in?
ESTRAGON:
Take your time.
VLADIMIR:

After the glow, the scene, the stage, the set
Talk becomes slow but there’s one thing I’ll never forget
I’m not […]
