Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot arrives at the Festival Theatre in a production directed by Molly Atkinson, marking the first time the play has taken the Festival stage. The production stars Paul Gross and Tom McCamus as Vladimir and Estragon, with Jonathan Goad as Pozzo and David W. Keeley as Lucky. Set design features a solitary tree emerging from the Tanya Moiseiwitsch stage, transforming the theatre into a stark and haunting landscape. The play follows two weary travellers waiting endlessly for the mysterious Godot, exploring themes of companionship, hope, and the search for meaning.
