SYNOPSIS: Two wandering tramps, Vladimir and Estragon, wait by a lonely tree, to meet up with Mr. Godot, an enigmatic figure in a world where time, place and memory are blurred and meaning is where you find it. The tramps hope that Godot will change their lives for the better. Instead, two eccentric travelers arrive, one man on the end of the other's rope. Hilarious, heartbreaking, and ultimately deeply moving, WAITING FOR GODOT stands as one of the great achievements in the Western canon of dramatic literature — brought to life in a bold new production by Fox Artistic Director Richard R. Cowden.
Vladimir: One of the two main characters of the play. Estragon calls him Didi, and the boy addresses him as Mr. Albert. He seems to be the more responsible and mature of the two main characters.
Estragon: The second of the two main characters. Vladimir calls him Gogo. He seems weak and helpless, always looking for Vladimir's protection. He also has a poor memory, as Vladimir has to remind him in the second act of the events that happened the previous night.
Pozzo: The mysterious face of authoritarianism, he passes by the spot where Vladimir and Estragon are waiting and provides a diversion. In the second act, he is blind and does not remember meeting Vladimir and Estragon the night before.
Lucky: Pozzo's minion, who carries Pozzo's bags and stool. In Act I, he entertains by dancing and thinking. However, in Act II, he is mute.
Boy: Appears at the end of each act to inform Vladimir that Godot will not be coming that night. In the second act, he insists that he was not there the previous night.
