The “arties’ have been at it again, seeing Samuel Becketts’s “Waiting for Godot”.
This is a famous play that I knew little about before we went to see it. Having read up about it before hand, I did not know I would be any the wiser. As it happens, going along did not enlighten me much further to its “meaning”, but it was a positive experience all the same. The performances by the four actors were great. It received a very positive review in the Dom Post.
Ian McKellen was as good as one would expect. Matthew Kelly, from “Stars in your eyes” fame and other such tv stuff was also very good, and quite a step away from the work I have seen him do. The actor for “Lucky” was quite brilliant, from his quiet moments of stillness and would guess pain to the soliloquy he performs.
As to the meaning-life, death, friendship, dementia, the cruelty of man and how easy it is to join in? Who knows.
Another successful choice.
