"We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself." [Brecht]

Considered “the most significant English language play of the 20th century," Waiting for Godot almost needs no introduction.  With two main characters endlessly waiting in vain for someone named Godot to arrive, the audience encounters philosophical, existential, religious, psychoanalytical and wartime references.  Exploring what has been called the Theatre of the Absurd, Beckett sums up the play as “a game in order to survive.”

Theatre Encounter will render this script to explore alienation and loneliness, appearance and reality, death, doubt and ambiguity, the meaning of life and humanity’s search for the self.
