PORTSMOUTH NH – Samuel Beckett’s iconic and unexpectedly hilarious “Waiting for Godot” opens the Players’ Ring Theatre’s 2025-26 Mainstage Theatre on Sept. 12, running through Sept. 28. Directed by Bretton Reis, who also plays one of the main characters, the play brings bold new staging, drawing out its wit and deep humanity. Two wanderers, Reis (as Vladimir), and Michael Towle (as Estragon), wait beneath a barren tree for something or someone which may never come. As time stretches and their conversations spiral, absurdity meets poetry, and the very act of waiting becomes both heartbreak and hilarity.
