I must have read Waiting for Godot, by Samuel Becket, in high school or college, but it's been a very long time. Someone mentioned it the other day and I thought I'd revisit it. Just finished reading Act 1 tonight and started on Act 2.
While looking for a picture for this post, I ran across this one, and an article about the new production coming to Broadway this fall starting Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart. This ought to be an awesome experience!
They will both star in “No Man’s Land” and “Waiting for Godot,” and both productions will be directed by Sean Mathias and will be performed in repertory.
“In ‘Waiting for Godot,’ two men exist in a universe that is both real and imagined – a place where time does not always advance towards a future,” said Mathias. “And as the two men wait, two outsiders enter to disrupt that universe. In ‘No Man’s Land,’ two men inhabit a land that is neither here nor there – a land where time and memory play unreliable tricks. And as these two men converse, two other men who are both familiar and unfamiliar enter this same land with unnerving effect.
