I went to see a staging of Waiting for Godot - it's on at the Haymarket.
Overall I enjoyed the play; it's a complex script with some deep underlying messages. At the core, I would say it's a story of unconditional love & friendship.
However, I was disappointed by the staging. It seems everyone goes for a classic, bleak and spartan backdrop.
To me the incongruity of the protagonists with the unrelenting passage of time is key to the central message.
I would set it on a Tube platform.
