Waiting for Godot

I've watched the "Waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett on youtube, i didn't enjoyed it that much. It's a psychologically piece with a little bit of comedy, it didn't seem that funny to me, because I do not agree with the idea of a slave human being. I understood what the director was trying to do with this piece but I didn't liked his idea. If i had to direct this piece, I would have placed it on a beach with a lot of people and the old guy with the "horse-man" would have showed up at midnight. I would have make it contemporan and funny, I would've adapted it to our days. The actors would be placed in the backward middle of the stage, the old guy with his carrier would be in the front, the lights would be powerful at the beggining so that people can see that it's a bright day and as long as the piece is consuming I would've make it less brighter. If I had a big room I would've attached them mini microphones and if it were a small room the actors should make the sound by their own. The piece would've ended with them left alone in the darkness.
