Absurdly funny. Two days. Estragon and Vladimir. Boots and hats. Looking but seeing nothing. Leading and being lead. "Waiting for Godot" is the play considered by some critics to be one of the most prominent works of the "Theatre of the Absurd". Stephen Haley will work his magic on this classic as he directs a strong cast including Phil Atkins, Paul Wahn, Dylan Fuller, Damon Jesperson and Max Tullgren at the Arakelian Theater. |
The Tannery Reading Series brings authors to the North Shore whose writing confronts the world in essential and curious ways. Showcasing newly evolving as well as traditional forms, burgeoning talent as the well-loved names of our age, the objective of each event is to create something smart, combustible and fun. Details |
