Waiting for Dutch Waiting for Dutch "Waiting for Dutch" is second season premiere episode of the FX anthology series "Fargo", and the eleventh episode of the series overall. It was written by series creator and showrunner Noah Hawley and directed by Michael Uppendahl and Randall Einhorn, making it the only episode in the series with two directors. The title refers to the Samuel Beckett play "Waiting for Godot", and to Ronald Reagan, occasionally nicknamed "Dutch", who appears via archival footage. As each season of "Fargo" follows its own self-contained narrative, "Waiting for Dutch", set in 1979, introduces a new storyline and cast, along
Happy Days (play) of the text and production. Even Kenneth Tynan, one of the saviours of "Godot", felt that "Happy Days" was "a metaphor extended beyond its capacity", nevertheless, he admitted Beckett's strange, insinuating power and urged his readers to buy tickets for the play. More recent revivals on stage have occurred in 2008 at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York City, directed by Deborah Warner and starring Fiona Shaw as Winnie and Tim Potter as Willie, in 2014 at the Young Vic, starring Juliet Stevenson, and in New York City (The Flea Theater) and Pasadena (Boston Court Theatre) in 2015
