Doors to Open at Hole in the Wall for “Waiting for Godot”

New Britain’s Hole in the Wall Theater will open its doors again for live performance, with its production of “Waiting for Godot” starting tonight, July 16, 2021.

In Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, the Theater says,

two wandering tramps, Vladimir and Estragon, wait by a lonely tree, to meet up with Mr. Godot, an enigmatic figure in a world where time, place and memory are blurred and meaning is where you find it. The tramps hope that Godot will change their lives for the better. Instead, two eccentric travelers arrive, one man on the end of the other’s rope. The results are both funny and dangerous in this existential masterpiece.

Directed by Steven Simpson and produced by Ryan Wantroba, John Bosco reported on the Theater’s blog, the play’s cast includes George Sebastian-Coleman as “Vladimir”, Johnny Peifer as “Estragon”, Ed Bernstein as “Pozzo”, Matthew Horowitz performing as “Lucky” and Marco Fiero as “Boy”.

The play opens at the Theater on July 16, 2021 and runs until July 31st.
