Godot is a Woman

Silent Faces TheatreThis event has now finished

In 1953, Samuel Beckett wrote Waiting for Godot.
In 1988, he sued five women for trying to perform it.
In 1989, he died.
Since then, his estate has continued to challenge any company that expresses a desire to perform Beckett's seminal work if they aren't all men. Why?

Since 'Waiting for Godot' was written, non-men all over the world have been waiting to fill the boots of Vladimir and Estragon. Nearly 70 years later, the playwright is dead and his estate still says no. Well Silent Faces Theatre are done waiting...

With their trademark style of playful and political physical theatre, Silent Faces explore permission, patriarchy and pop music in a brand new song and dance show, created with a desire to provoke change within British theatre and beyond. Following an acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the show heads to the South West with rural touring schemes, Take Art in Somerset and Artsreach in Dorset.
