Waiting for Godot By Samuel Beckett.

Two of Adelaide's finest comic actors, Paul Blackwell and Stephen Sheehan, channel the spirits of Chaplin and Keaton to bring to life one of the most infamous duos in theatrical history.

Samual Beckett's forlorn tramps Vladimir and Estragon are lost in time and space. Their shoes are falling apart, they've only got turnips and carrots to eat and lately, unknown attackers have been beating up Estragon on a nightly basis.

They abuse, amuse and console each other while they wait for a man whose arrival promises both a job and perhaps some kind of salvation.

In a theatrical revolution for the time, Beckett broke with convention and created a truly unique work that defied the accepted rules of dramatic structure. This landmark play is a masterpiece of comic wordplay, but what lies beneath is a lyrical layer of exquisite prose that explores humankind's search for meaning.
