Waiting for Godot is a fast-paced tragicomedy that is packed full of heartfelt, tender and touching moments.
It starts with two men waiting by a lonely tree, their conversation spinning between the tragic, the comic and the absurd. What are they waiting for, will they or won’t they ever arrive and what does it all mean?
Join the multi-award-winning Sharnbrook Mill Theatre as it presents the timeless masterpiece by the great Samuel Beckett, featuring the spell-binding main characters of Vladimir and Estragon, in the roles made famous over the years by world renowned actors including Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, Robin Williams, Steve Martin, Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Patrick Stewart, Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson.
It’s a dramatic piece where hope and despair dance hand in hand in a world where meaning is as elusive as Godot himself.
Profoundly funny and endlessly thought-provoking, this iconic play invites you on a journey into the heart of human existence and the endless wait for answers.
Ian Hammond-Stark, director, said: “We have pulled all the comedy out of this wonderful play, it’s been a lot of fun”.
“I remember watching an interview with Rik Mayall who said it was the funniest play ever, and ever since I have been waiting for the moment to prove him right.
“I really do think this play is more relevant today than when it was first debuted in 1955”, he added.
