Two emails on Waiting for Godot

Hi kid,
Ask your older actor friends who may have seen a stage play of the above how the 2 main actors keep the audience's interest by such subtle changes in the interchanges between them. There are clowning moments as well as verbal lol but no plot. Feels like a retired couple waiting out winter white out. Now I am going to read the reviews. I did see excerpts from Patrick Stewart but how to do 2 acts ,and keep the audience engaged, is beyond my imagination. But then I don't have a degree in the pretend arts. Love,                                    And I got a reply.

It's a great play, isn't it? It all comes down to each small very human and real interaction. The larger structure may be difficult to make sense of but the minute intentions of each character are more obvious. Very funny, you're right.       

The exchange was not perfunctory and injects a delight into the day as I watch the scenes outside:                                                                                     
And
