Druid Returns to NYC in Garry Hynes' Staging of Waiting for Godot

This year's 2018 White Light Festival will run from October 16 through November 18. The multidisciplinary festival will feature events presented in six venues across the city, including world, U.S., and New York premieres. The ninth annual international festival will explore transcendence, interior illumination, and the communal impulse as exhibited through artistic expression across continents and centuries.

Ireland's inestimable Druid theater company and Tony Award-winning director Garry Hynespresent Samuel Beckett's irreverent existentialist masterpiece, Waiting for Godot. In this refreshing reimagining infused with slapstick comedy, Druid's award-winning production joins the festival for a 14-performance run, in the culmination of a well-received international tour.

Tickets for the 2018 White Light Festival are available online at WhiteLightFestival.org, by calling CenterCharge at 212.721.6500, or at the David Geffen or Alice Tully Hall Box Office (Broadway and 65th Street).
