by Dave Hanson. Directed by Mark Bell
Running Time: Approximately 1 hours 30 minutes including an interval
The latest hilarious comedy directed by Mark Bell, the critically acclaimed director behind the Olivier-award winning The Play That Goes Wrong and recent hit The Comedy About a Bank Robbery.
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 brilliantly witty comedy ponders Beckett, showbiz and just what it’s all about.
Turns out the only people who truly understand Beckett’s Waiting For Godot are the understudies…
Starring: Simon Day from BBC’s beloved comedy The Fast Show with Laura Kirman and James Marlowe from smash hit comedy The Play That Goes Wrong.
Suitable for ages 12+
