WAITING FOR GODOT

Written by: Samuel Beckett

Directed by: David Smith-English

Sept. 25 – Oct. 12, 2008

Hilariously funny, while at the same time moving and quite poignant, Waiting for Godot is an absurdist tour de force by Nobel Prize-winning playwright Samuel Beckett. In this brilliant, bitter comedy, Beckett’s two clowns pass the time by making sport of their circumstances, talking like vaudeville comedians and attempting to perform tricks. This timeless classic continues to resonate with audiences as recent productions in post-Katrina New Orleans and Sarajevo during the Bosnian War attest.
