Studio 54 (Broadway)
254 West 54th St. New York, NY

Tony Award winners Bill Irwin and Nathan Lane star in the Roundabout Theatre Company's revival of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, directed by Anthony Page. The starry cast also includes John Goodman and John Glover.



Waiting for Godot remains Samuel Beckett's most magical and beautiful allegory. The story revolves around two seemingly homeless men waiting for someone - or something - named Godot. Vladimir (Bill Irwin) and Estragon (Nathan Lane) wait near a tree on a barren stretch of road, inhabiting a drama spun from their own consciousness. The result is a comical wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes and nonsense, which has been interpreted as a somber summation of mankind's inexhaustible search for meaning.

Photo Coverage: 'WAITING FOR GODOT' Meets the Press!
by Walter McBride - March 22, 2009


A cornerstone of twentieth century theatre, Waiting for Godot was Samuel Beckett's first professionally produced play. It premiered in Paris in 1953 and premiered on Broadway in 1956 at the John Golden Theatre. Beckett's language pioneered an expressionistic minimalism that captured the existentialism of post-World War II Europe.
