Waiting for Waiting for Godot (Oberon Modern Plays)

Waiting for Waiting for Godot (Oberon Modern Plays)

Two hapless understudies occupy their time backstage, trying to understand art, life, theatre and their precarious existence within it. Described as “delectable” by The New York Times and “gleefully absurd” by Time Out New York 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.
