The full cast for the new revival of Samuel Beckett’s masterpiece has been announced.
Waiting for Godot is considered one of the greatest plays of the 20th century. The play tells the story of Didi and Gogo who anxiously wait by a tree for a man named Godot. They don’t know who he is, why they are meeting or what time he is coming… they only know that something incredible will happen when he does.
The main cast includes Lucian Msamati (Game of Thrones) as Estragon and Ben Whishaw (Paddington) as Vladimir, alongside Tom Edden (Crazy for You) as Lucky and Jonathan Slinger (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) as Pozzo.
Completing the cast are Luca Fone, Alexander Joseph and Ellis Pang sharing the role of The Boy and Dean Graham (understudy Vladimir and Lucky) and David Lee-Jones (understudy Estragon and Pozzo).
The play is set to be directed by James Macdonald (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf) with Max Harrison as his assistant director.
Waiting for Godot opens at the Theatre Royal Haymarket on 13 September and will play until 14 December 2024. Book tickets now online via the LSBO website or visit our box office in Leicester Square.
