Character dramatically awaited (5)
I believe the answer is:
godot
I'm afraid I can't even guess how this answer relates to the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for godot that I've seen before include "One theatrically waited for" , "someone waited for in theatre" , "Samuel Beckett play ''Waiting for . . . . . '' (5)" , "One awaited by Vladimir and Estragon" , "he isn't going to come!" .)
