Except that Godot was there, all the time: Godot is the audience, suddenly discovering that Beckett's hyperspace had pulled the rug from underneath their feet. Which is the greatness of Beckett, but also his greatest limitation; later, more fully postmodernized playwrights, like Heiner Mueller, dealt with *audiences* (the multinational plural).
