Waiting for Gadot at Chain Theatre

A parody of Waiting for Gadot by Australian playwright Annabel McConnachie

Three neighboring worlds — a café, a film set, and a park bench — all consumed by one absurdly specific hope: that Gal Gadot is coming. Mara, a baker, obsessively prepares; a director scrambles to capture every possible moment; and two fans measure speed, strategize stamina, and speculate wildly about superhero training. As anticipation spirals into chaos and delusion runs rampant, everyone teeters between hope and absurdity. Waiting for Gadot is an absurdist comedy about obsession, fandom, and the hilariously human lengths we go to while waiting for something that might never come.
