Martin Esslin, a theater critic, coined the term “Theater of the Absurd”. The phrase occurred first in his famous book entitled ‘The Theatre of the absurd’ (1962). In order to give a nomenclature to a number of works produced in the late 1950s and early 1960s that defied any traditional genres, Esslin coined the phrase. Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" premiered at a tiny avant-garde theatre in Paris in 1953.It had been translated into more than twenty languages within five years.
