Waiting for Godot

‘Witty and absurd, poignant and profound…’

Come along to The Street Theatre for a brand new production of Dublin born Nobel Prize-winning writer Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot playing from 9 – 24 November 2024.

 

Witty and absurd, poignant and profound, Waiting for Godot is a timeless take on what it means to be human. Beckett’s ground breaking classic of comic play with exquisite words and enormous humanity, is considered by many to be one of, if not the most influential play of the 20th century, has captured the consciousness of generations with his landmark work. You won’t want to miss this remarkable performance experience in Canberra with direction by Caroline Stacey and award-winning actors Christopher Samuel Carroll, PJ Williams, Craig Alexander and James Scott to discover or rediscover Waiting for Godot.
