Waiting For Waiting For Godot by Dave Hanson

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.

    “ A hilarious spin on Waiting for Godot applied to life in the theatre that is just perfect! ”

    “ An absurd and hilarious rumination on the existential anxiety of life in the theater, faithful to its inspirational source but uniquely original. I am not recommending my own work, I am spelled differently. ”

    “ Dave Hanson is a wizard, and the NY Fringe production of this delightful play featuring Hanson and Chris Sullivan was a wonder to behold. WFWFG is simply a joy, and it also lends some depth of understanding to "Godot" itself. ”
