help Job FAQ

Is Job the ballet based on Waiting for Godot?

No, the catalog description confuses two different works. Job is a 1931 British ballet based on William Blake's illustrations of the Book of Job, with music by Ralph Vaughan Williams.

Who choreographed Job?

Job was choreographed by Ninette de Valois. Geoffrey Keynes prepared the scenario, and Gwen Raverat designed the original production.

What happens in the ballet Job?

The ballet presents Job's testing by Satan, his suffering, and his eventual restoration through a stylized retelling of the biblical story. It is a masque for dancing rather than a realistic drama about Vladimir and Estragon.

What is the connection between Job and Samuel Beckett?

There is no direct plot connection between Job and Beckett's Waiting for Godot. Beckett's play centers on Vladimir and Estragon waiting for Godot, while de Valois's 1931 ballet draws on William Blake and the Book of Job.
