Beckett’s masterpiece, Waiting For Godot, is acknowledged as one of the greatest plays of the 20^th century. Originally premiering in 1953 in French with a subsequent English-language production premiering in 1955 in London, it has become a cultural touchstone having been translated into dozens of languages and has inspired artists in the worlds of film, television, dance, opera, visual arts, fashion, and even video games. London’s National Theatre surveyed over 800 leaders of the theater world and Waiting For Godot topped the list as the most significant play of the last 100 years. In 2009, Ben Brantley, writing for the New York Times, said of Godot, “this greatest of 20^th century plays, is also entertainment of a high order.”

Complete casting and design team for Waiting For Godot will be announced soon.
