Waiting With Vladimir And Estragon

And we are still waiting for Godot.  Now more than ever.  Samuel Beckett's masterpiece.  This is from the 1961 TV broadcast, starring Burgess Meredith and Zero Mostel.  Waiting For Godot inspired many famous pairings in the two lead roles.  The Broadway premiere in 1956 featured Bert Lahr and EG Marshall.  Geoffrey Rush and Mel Gibson performed the roles in a 1979 Australian production, while Robin Williams and Steve Martin headlined a 1988 Broadway revival.  2009 saw a London production with Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Patrick Stewart while Nathan Lane and John Goodman starred in yet another Broadway revival.

And here is THC's own take on the play.
