WAITING FOR GODOT

By Samuel Beckett

Directed by Molly Atkinson

The play that changed everything

On a deserted stretch of land, two old friends wait endlessly for the mysterious Godot, passing the time with conversations that veer from the mundane to the profound. The more they argue, question and complain, the more their predicament begins to resemble that of humanity looking for meaning in an absurd universe.
