Waiting for Godot
Voted the most significant English language play of the 20th century in a recent British Royal National Theatre poll of 800 playwrights, actors, directors and journalists.
Samuel Beckett's 'Waiting for Godot' is simultaneously one of the most impenetrable and one of the most acclaimed works of theater. It's a show in which nothing happens - twice.
Two old friends talk, joke and argue as they wait for the mysterious Mr. Godot. A marriage of the poetic, the comic and the tragic and a redefinition of what is possible in theatre.
...this Waiting For Godot is the best-acted show currently running.
As hardly needs to be said about a Jungle play, the design is exquisite in its simplicity. The set (by Boehlke) uses the entire Jungle space. The tree is perfect, and ditto the lighting (Barry Browning) and the ragged costumes (Amelia Cheever).
