The Stratford Festival’s Opening Week wrapped up last night with director Molly Atkinson’s production of Samuel Beckett’s WAITING FOR GODOT at the Festival Theatre. As I sit here contemplating what I want to say about it, I suspect I could write a One Act play called Reviewing Godot. How does one review what has been described as ‘a play in which nothing happens…twice’? One can of course highlight the brilliant performances of Tom McCamus, Paul Gross, Jonathan Goad, and David W. Keeley as Estragon, Vladimir, Pozzo, and Lucky – but even as I sit here reflecting on the performances, I find myself continuing to reflect (in a good way) on the absurd profundity of ‘nothing’ happening.
