Waiting For Godot tickets are available to see a new production of Samuel Beckett’s masterpiece, starring two of the biggest names in theatre, film and television, Sir Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart. Waiting For Godot tickets will enable London audiences to catch this eagerly anticipated version of Beckett’s classic as it returns to London fifty years after its first production.

Highly interpretive
Those lucky enough to get their hands on Waiting for Godot tickets will be able to enjoy one of the most significant plays of the twentieth century, and one that creates heated debate thanks to its ability to be interpreted in a myriad different ways. With Waiting For Godot tickets you will be able to enjoy the dialogue (and lack of) between Vladimir and Estragon as they sit waiting patiently for the mysterious, and elusive, Godot.

An important play
Beckett’s Waiting For Godot has been a hugely influential play, with interpretations ranging from the religious, through to the psychoanalytical and the biographical. It still retains considerable significance in theatre today and the tale of the two tramps is a regular on both the stage and in curriculum throughout the world, so if you’ve seen Waiting for Godot before, or studied it, take this opportunity to see what promises to be a stunning production.

Sir Ian McKellen
Starring in this version of Waiting For Godot will be two giants of the acting world, bringing a wealth of experience and talent to the Theatre Royal stage. Sir Ian McKellen is perhaps best known for starring in the Lord of The Rings films as Gandalf, but asides from his role in Godot, he boasts an incredibly impressive stage career, including award winning roles in Othello, Richard III, Amadeus and Coriolanus.

Patrick Stewart
Similarly, Patrick Stewart is well known for his television and film roles, most notably as Star Trek’s Captain Jean-Luc Picard, but his career on the stage is highly distinguished, with this role in Waiting for Godot just one of a number of important roles. Stewart is widely recognised as one of the great Shakespearean and stage actors, starring in productions of The Tempest, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Anthony and Cleopatra and the recent production of Hamlet with David Tennant.

On tour and residency
This production of Waiting For Godot will also feature some impressive talent behind the scenes, with top theatre director Sean Mathiason on directorial duties. The show will embark on a UK tour for just under two months before reaching the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, where it will stay for an extended run.

Waiting For Godot starring Sir Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart starts at the Theatre Royal Haymarket from Thursday 30th April 2009, with booking currently available until Sunday 28th June 2009. To purchase Waiting For Godot tickets please click the Buy Tickets button.
