Waiting for Godot? Don’t Wait go see it Now!

/

The Seattle Shakespeare Company has come indoors to the Falls Theatre at ACT and produced a very fine Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett as their part of the Seattle Beckett Festival. Director George Mount has struck the humor mother lode Beckett buried in the play. Had this production been the world premiere this play would never have received a reputation for being “tedious.” It helps that all of the actors know their lines well and have terrific comic timing.

Beckett doesn’t write according to the usual rules.

Terre Haute by Edmund White opened Friday, May 16 at ACT Theatre on one of their intimate stages. Veteran Director Aaron Levin brings military precision to White’s fictional meeting between the Oklahoma City bomber and a famous ex-patriot social critic. What are their motives? Do they share common ground? White’s script plunges right in and allows answers, and more questions, to surface. The leads are the show and we believe their performances.
