Waiting for Godot

The Mainstage Series

Join Didi and Gogo as they wait and wait and wait for Godot. While they wait, they meet Pozzo and Lucky, whose journey seems endless. In this simple story of waiting and journeying, all life is captured. Truly, is there anything more wicked than wasted time? A darker Laurel and Hardy comic-tragedy appropriate for all ages.

By Samuel Beckett

June 4-21

Directed by Aoife Spillane-Hinks

The Charity Randall Theatre inside the Stephen Foster Memorial, 4301 Forbes Avenue, Oakland

Reviews

"The four principle adult actors — Martin Giles, James FitzGerald, Alan Stanford and Ken Bolden — turn in performances that are meticulous and precise in movement and speech. They may be doing nothing of obvious importance, but they do it masterfully and with conviction and apparent ease."

Alice T. Carter, Pittsburgh Tribune review

"The big surprise is that it's often funny yet reverential, both to Beckett's text and the movement style of Laurel and Hardy."

Michelle Pilecki, City Paper

"A lot is comic. But often enough, something simple strikes a cosmic chord, whether through homely truism or deeper insight... The assured PICT crew, from director Spillane-Hinks and veteran Stanford on down, give it a rich, full reading, worthy of being your first “Godot” or your ninth."

Christopher Rawson, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
