Waiting for Godot
Waiting For Godot by Samuel Beckett:
After the success of Abigail’s Party in November, Off The Rail productions bring you Samuel Beckett’s famous existentialist play Waiting For Godot.
Vladimir and Estragon talk, clown and argue while they wait for the mysteriously elusive Godot. Jacob Crutchley directs again in one his favourite works from his favourite playwright. Phil Gibbs and Liam Bessell play the odd pair Vladimir and Estragon.
Beckett wrote the original text in French (En Attendant Godot) between late 1948 and early 1949, before he translated his own work into the work we know today. Waiting For Godot. In his book Theatre of the Absurd, Martin Esslin cites both Beckett and Waiting For Godot as major influences for the Absurdist movement. Arguably Beckett’s most famous play, it has had an undoubtable impact on the works of Edward Albee, the late Harold Pinter and Tom Stoppard.’
