Waiting on Godot surmises that the play is about waiting. That it is - Samuel Beckett's award-winning play does not contain a lot of action, and truly is about waiting.

Samuel Beckett is the author of Waiting for Godot, a play that follows the characters Vladimir and Estragon as they wait for someone named Godot who never arrives. The play is known for its absurdist themes and exploration of the futility of human existence.

The title is significant because the play is absurdist, so the characters in Waiting for Godot spend the entire play waiting for a character who never comes - and the fact that the point of the entire play is this pointless waiting is central to the absurdism of the play and of the absurdist movement.
