Waiting For Godot

By Samuel Beckett

Directed by Garry Hynes
Starring Garrett Lombard, Aaron Monaghan, Rory Nolan and Marty Rea

On a bare road in the middle of nowhere, two world-weary friends await the arrival of the mysterious Godot. While waiting, they speculate, bicker, joke and ponder life’s greater questions. As dusk begins to fall, two figures appear on the horizon.
