Gainesville Theatre Alliance's WAITING FOR GODOT Opens Friday
by BWW News Desk - November 07, 2018
According to a 2017 Timex survey, people spend a cumulative average of six months of their lives waiting in line and an average of 27 cumulative days waiting for a bus or train. Time is seen as immensely valuable to individuals in our culture, yet tends to be dependent on others. Searching for ways to fill our time with meaningful and necessary tasks, there tends to be a nearly constant state of waiting for the next task, waiting to get from one place to another, waiting for things to be right. The Gainesville Theatre Alliance production of Waiting for Godot, which opens Nov. 9, challenges the connections of people, time, and the meaning of life itself.
