Playing @
Shakespeare Theater of New Jersey

Estragon: Let's go.
Vladimir: We can't.
Estragon: Why not?
Vladirmir: We're waiting for Godot.


Considered one of the most groundbreaking and important works of literature of the 20th century, Godot has infuriated and fascinated audiences since it burst upon the world in 1953. Featuring a stellar cast of Shakespeare Theatre veterans, this funny, cruel, moving, enigmatic theatrical metaphor is "theatre of the absurd" at its most breathtaking pinnacle.

With out own world waiting — poised on the verge of so many cataclysmic events — there seems no better time to visit Beckett's mysterious universe.
