Galway-based Irish theatre company, Druid, are presenting their acclaimed 2016 production of Beckett’s Waiting for Godot<\/em>\u00a0at Dublin’s Abbey Theatre from 21st April to 20th May 2017. This production was hailed by Peter Crawley from the Irish Times<\/em> as \u00a0‘exceptional’ and ‘miraculous’, and ‘the best production for 25 years’, full of fresh insights into this enduring play. It received several 5 star reviews.<\/p>\n

Here is the Abbey’s website where you might still be able to find some tickets but it is selling fast:\u00a0https:\/\/www.abbeytheatre.ie\/2017\/waiting-for-godot<\/p>\n

This is not the first Beckett production that Druid Artistic Director Garry Hynes has directed – Druid presented Beckett’s Happy Days<\/em> in 1976 and Waiting for Godot<\/em> in 1987 – if you search our Staging Beckett database using the search term Druid Theatre Company, you will find details of these and Druid’s other Beckett productions.<\/p>\n

Staging Beckett researcher Dr Trish McTighe (University of Birmingham), who has worked on Druid’s Beckett productions, will be reviewing this production of Druid’s Waiting for Godot<\/em> here, so watch this space.<\/p>\n
