Title play character who never shows up (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

godot

(Other definitions for godot that I've seen before include "One theatrically waited for" , "Mysterious character waited for" , "Two tramps awaited him (Beckett)" , "Samuel Beckett play ''Waiting for . . . . . '' (5)" , "Character never appearing" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
