WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Nominated for 3 Tony Awards including Best Revival of a Play.
Tony Award winners Bill Irwin and Nathan Lane star in the Roundabout Theatre Company's revival of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot, directed by Anthony Page. The starry cast also includes John Goodman and John Glover.
Waiting for Godot remains Samuel Beckett's most magical and beautiful allegory. The story revolves around two seemingly homeless men waiting for someone - or something - named Godot. Vladimir (Bill Irwin) and Estragon (Nathan Lane) wait near a tree on a barren stretch of road, inhabiting a drama spun from their own consciousness. The result is a comical wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes and nonsense, which has been interpreted as a somber summation of mankind's inexhaustible search for meaning.

No matter how magnificent a play may be, it always reveals discernible influences. Take Samuel Beckett's 1954 classic,
Waiting for Godot, now being given a disappointing revival at the Roundabout Theatre Company's Studio 54 under the direction of Anthony Page. For example, with its forlorn protagonists Vladimir and Estragon (Bill Irwin and Nathan Lane) clinging to one another at the same time as they try each other's frayed patience, loud echoes can be heard of Shakespeare's King Lear when the self-deposed monarch and blinded adviser Gloucester meet on the heath.
An ideal production of Beckett's play -- labeled a "tragicomedy" and intrinsically funnier than is often thought -- should ac[...]
