Waiting For Godot - 2009 - West End Articles Page 15

Today in 1957 Waiting for Godot opened at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, where it ran for 6 performances. An absurdist play by Samuel Beckett, it revolves around two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, who wait endlessly and in vain for someone named Godot to arrive. Godot's absence, as well as numerous other aspects of the play, have led to many different interpretations since the play's premiere. Since its US premiere in 1956, several notable revivals have been produced, including the 1988 production featuring Robin Williams and Steve Martin, and the 2009 revival starring Nathan Lane and Bill Irwin.

The Wrap reports that John Goodman (Inside Llewyn Davis) has signed on for Paramount's upcoming remake of the classic 1974 film THE GAMBLER, directed by Rupert Wyatt.
