"G () D () T." A World Premiere absurdist comedy
After watching Samuel Beckett's classic of the Theatre of the Absurd, "Waiting for Godot," one always asks . . . "What was Godot actually doing while Vladimir and Estragon were waiting for him?" The World Premiere of "G ( ) D ( ) T" explores that intriguing question.
Godot has decisions to make. How will they ultimately affect the fates of V and E (as the new play refers to Vladimir and Estragon)?
What role does Godot's administrative assistant, Snook, play in furthering Godot's objectives? Oh, yes. The Boy from Beckett's play turns up in this new work, too!
Ilmar Taska directs.
