This is NOT Waiting for Godot. This is Waiting for Waiting for Godot: a comedy about boredom that’s anything but boring.

Directed by Michael Hurst and written by critically acclaimed playwright Dave Hanson: Two hapless understudies wait to go on in a production of Samuel Beckett’s iconic ‘Waiting for Godot’, but will their time ever come?

Hilarious, witty and absurdist, this comedy promises to be an unforgettable theatre experience not to be missed.

★★★★★ “Delectable” The New York Times
★★★★ “gleefully absurd and self-aware “- Critics pick - Time out New York
★★★★★ “An absolute Blinder” My Theatre Mates

Whilst waiting, they occupy their time backstage, trying to understand art, life, theatre and their precarious existence within it. This hilariously witty comedy ponders Beckett, showbiz and just what on earth it’s all about. Turns out, the only people who truly understand Beckett’s Waiting For Godot, are the understudies.
