A theatre play by Samuel Beckett, belonging to The Theatre of the Absurd. It deals with many things, such as the absurdity of everyday actions, about things we sometimes do in order to just pass the time (hence Winnie's taking and then putting down the umbrella all over again), one's past and memories etc. By using the newspaper (which Willie is reading in the play) instead of a real, waterproof nylon for the umbrella canopy, I wanted to convey the uselessness of the characters' actions and their inability to really "protect" themselves and their beliefs.
