It’s a surprise comeback for Beckett’s most famous and confounding play, Waiting For Godot. Last year, legends Ian Mckellen and Patrick Stewart pottered about on stage as Estragon and Vladmir. Looks like Sir Ian can’t get enough of Beckett’s existentialist world; he is retuning with the production to the Theatre Royal Haymarket, this time starring with Roger Rees.
Ian Mckellen reprises his role as Estragon In Waiting For Godot
When the production ran last summer at the Haymarket, it was a scramble to get a ticket. While X-Men fans waited outside for returns, many had to make do with accosting the lead actors as they left via the stage door.
Even though Patrick Stewart is not returning, Godot redux will be one of the theatrical highlights of the new year, due to the strength and compelling allusiveness of Beckett’s masterpiece. Another of Beckett’s plays, Endgame, has just finished its run at the Duchess theatre, so it looks as though there is a huge demand right now for the staging of literary classics.
