we watched 'Breathe' the shortest play by Samuel Beckett, to understand the concept of the theatre of abusrd. When we watched these types of abusrd play we feel that nothing happens on the stage but there is always something behind nothing. Nothing happens without purpose. Even our existence on the earth is for some reason.
