SCENA THEATRE PRESENTS: Waiting for Godot with Irish cast

is thrilled to bring this iconic play to Washington, DC. An acclaimed Irish cast adds humor and depth to a story about navigating hope, despair, and the endless wait for Godot. Don’t miss this rare chance to see Beckett’s masterpiece performed with authentic Irish artistry.

Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett is a minimalist, existential play that follows two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, as they wait for the elusive Godot. Set on a desolate country road, the pair pass the time through debate on when Godot will come, why they’re waiting for him, and whether they’re even at the right tree…

The play explores themes of time, uncertainty, and the human condition, raising questions about the purpose of life and the search for meaning. Despite their constant waiting, the characters’ situation remains unchanged, leaving the audience to reflect on the futility and absurdity of existence.

BARRY MCEVOY as Estragon
