I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'play' is the definition.
(Samuel Beckett play)

'working in cafe failed to remember about party' is the wordplay.
'working in cafe' becomes 'waiting' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'failed to remember' becomes 'forgot' ('forget' can be a synonym of 'fail to remember').
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'party' becomes 'do' (do can informally mean a party).
'forgot' going around 'do' is 'forgodot'.
'waiting'+'forgodot'='WAITING FOR GODOT'

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for waiting for godot that I've seen before include "Drama" , "Samuel Beckett play" .)
