Waiting For Godot (2009) Theatre Royal Haymarket / London - West End Producer: Theatre Royal Haymarket Company & Duncan C. Weldon Productions Ltd Playwright: Samuel Beckett Cast: Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Simon Callow, Ronald Pickup Character: Vladimir

Two tramps are waiting by a sickly looking tree for the arrival of M. Godot. They quarrel, make up, contemplate suicide, try to sleep, eat a carrot and gnaw on some chicken bones. Two other characters appear, a master and a slave, who perform a grotesque scene in the middle of the play. A young boy arrives to say that M. Godot will not come today, but that he will come tomorrow. The play is a development of the title, Waiting for Godot. He does not come and the two tramps resume their vigil by the tree, which between the first and second day has sprouted a few leaves, the only symbol of a possible order in a thoroughly alienated world.

Waiting for Godot played at 7 regional venues prior to a limited West End run.
