Geffen Playhouse's new revival of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot officially opens November 14 after beginning previews November 6. The run will continue through December 15 at the Los Angeles company. Get a first look at the production in the gallery below.
Rainn Wilson and Aasif Mandvi are leading the company as Vladimir and Estragon, respectively, joined by Conor Lovett as Pozzo and Adam Stein as Lucky. Lincoln Bonilla and Jack McSherry share the role of Boy. Understudies Timothy Paul Brown, Andrew Brian Carter, and Boise Holmes round out the company. Casting is by Phyllis Schuringa.
Judy Hegarty Lovett is directing the new production, which features scenic and costume design by Kaye Voyce, lighting design by Simon Bennison, and sound design and composition by Mel Mercier. Alyssa Escalante is serving as production stage manager with Miriam E. Mendoza as assistant stage manager. Geffen is presenting the staging in association with Gare St Lazare Ireland.
Set in the aftermath of an unimaginable tragedy—a child shooting another child at school—two mothers struggle with sainthood and demonization in the glare of the national spotlight.
Directed and choreographed by Matthew Bourne, the production played
the Chichester Festival Theatre this past summer and will arrive in
London later this month.
