Eric MacLennan is now touring in WAITING FOR GODOT

March 18, 2026
Eric MacLennan is in a new staging of Samuel Beckett’s classic WATING FOR GODOT – in which absolutely nothing happens. 

Set in a shifting, timeless landscape, Waiting for Godot follows two men, Vladimir and Estragon, as they wait for someone who may never come. As they pass the time with scraps of conversation, moments of tenderness and flashes of dark humour, their story becomes a moving reflection on what it means to keep going in a world that rarely offers answers.

Beckett’s timeless play endures as one of the defining works of the 20th century and returns to our stage in all its strange, funny and heartbreaking brilliance. Darkly comic and deeply moving, Waiting for Godot is a profound exploration of what it means to be human – even when the waiting never ends.
