Second Chance to See Excellent ProductionSimon Callow and Sir Patrick Stewart may be missing from the original cast but the production, which was one of the hottest tickets in 2009, will surely pick up from where it left off. If you missed it the first time - be sure to take your chance now. Waiting for Godot replaces current Theatre Royal Haymarket production Breakfast at Tiffany’s starring Anna Friel. | |
Beckett’s Compelling TragicomedyTwo friends meet on a country road and wait expectantly for the arrival of the mysterious Godot. Two days pass with no sign of their acquaintance. To occupy themselves the men eat, clown, play games and bicker. Beckett’s tragicomedy is a unique masterpiece, philosophical and minimalist, but utterly compelling. | |
Rees and Kelly’s Performance ExperienceRoger Rees has performed extensively with the Royal Shakespeare Company and won both Lawrence Olivier and Tony Awards for Best Actor on Broadway. Matthew Kelly has worked widely in both theatre and television, winning a Royal Television Society award for Best Performer in the ITV drama ‘Cold Blood’. | |
