When Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot exploded on to the London stage 50 years ago, it shocked as many people as it delighted. There had never been a play like it; two men clowning around, joking and arguing, repeating themselves, as they wait through one day and then another, waiting for the mysterious Godot. The combination of music hall, poetry and tension redefined what is possible in theatre, so that these days, Waiting for Godot is accepted as one of the most significant plays of the 20th century.
Beckett's characters have lost none of their power to fascinate and amuse and this production,
directed by the acclaimed theatre and film director, Sean Mathias,
has attracted the sort of great actors that the play deserves.
Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart are both renowned Shakespearean actors at Stratford-upon-Avon, in the West End and on Broadway. They first worked together in Tom Stoppard’s Every Good Boy Deserves Favour for the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1977 and more recently in the X-Men film trilogy, as Magneto and Professor X. Each of them has established their own iconic screen persona, as Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings and as Star Trek’s Jean-Luc Picard.
Joining Ian and Patrick will be fellow masters in their field, Simon Callow and Ronald Pickup, whose extensive theatre, film and television credits span four decades.
This collaboration with Beckett promises to be the theatre event of the year.

꺄오오오오오오오오오오오오오-
너무 좋은 거지!!!!
친절한 A양께서 소식을 전해 주자 마자 밤 11시 바로 티킷박스 전화해서 예약해 주셨다.
언제 오픈했는지 모르겠지만 모든 날짜 거의 모든 좌석 매진되어 주셨고
딱 하루 5월 7일 그것도 stall로 몇 장 안 남았다는거 바로 질러 주심.
흑... 이로써 카드 안 써야지 했던 결심이 와장창 또 무너져 주셨지만... 이게 바로 런던에 사는 묘미 아니겠어?
환상의 커플이 하는 고도를 기다리며! 우오옷 블라디미르와 에스트라공. 사진만 봐도 팔딱팔딱!!!!!
벌써부터 완전 기대, 심장 두근두근!!!!
솔직히 지르고 나서야 생각 났지만...
5월 10일 벨기에 공연 때문에 공연단이 그 날 도착하면 어쩌지? 있는데 혼자 저녁 때 나갔다 올 수 있을까?
뭐 그런 걱정이 살포시 밀려 오지만 애써 무시해 주시면서.... 무조건 간다! ㅠ_ㅠ
우흐흐흐-
한밤중에 급흥분 해 주셨더니 심장이 또 마구 뽐뿌질을 해 주시는구나...
심호흡 하고 하던 일에 집중해야 할 텐데...
A양 고마워 알라뷰야 ㅋㅋㅋ
으흐흐 또 하나 즐거운 건
4월 7일 나의 로망 사우스 뱅크 로열 페스티벌 홀에서 하는 장한나 공연을 단돈 3파운드에 본다는 거!!!!!!!!
룰루랄라 으쓱으쓱
