Waiting for Godot

ACT
700 Union St. Seattle

Generally regarded as one of the greatest plays of the 20th century, Waiting for Godot is a story that lends itself to endless exploration. Its depths are so great that every production has the capability of finding in it new meaning. It tells the story of Vladimir and Estragon, two vagabonds who find themselves endlessly awaiting someone named Godot, whose absence lends itself to numerous interpretations. The two bicker, wheedle, tease, ponder and wonder beneath a lonely tree at the junction of a dirt road, holding fast to anything that will give them cause to live until the next day. Full of clever wordplay and surprising humor, scholars and theatergoers alike have been debating the meaning and magic of Waiting for Godot for decades.
