Westville Boys’
High School will present the absurd classic Waiting
For Godot, directed by Luke Holder from February 7 to 10.
The show is offered
to all drama teachers and students in KZN who study this classic text as part
of the NSC Dramatic Arts Curriculum. Each performance will be accompanied by a
pre-show lecture, as well as a Question and Answer session with the cast and
director afterwards. Teaching notes and handouts will be made available to each
learner that attends the production.
The play follows
Didi and Gogo as they dally by the side of the road. They are expecting the
imminent arrival of another man. They’ve asked this man for nothing very
definite, but eagerly anticipate his reply. And though they admit that they do
not know him well and won’t even recognize him when they see him, they wait.
They wait for Godot.
Voted most
significant English language play of the 20th century by 800 playwrights,
actors, directors and journalists in a poll by the Royal National Theatre, Waiting for Godot remains, after
innumerable productions worldwide over the past 60 years, “a witty and poetic
conundrum” (The Guardian), “humorous and deeply human” (The Press),
“entertainment of a high order ” (NY Times) and “something that will securely
lodge in a corner of your mind for as long as you live” (The Sunday Times).
Performances take
place on February 7 (09h00); February 8 and 9 (09h00 and 14h00), and February 10
(09h00).
All shows cost R10 per
learner. Performances take place at Westville Boys’ High School in the Roy
Couzens Theatre. For more information and booking details, contact Luke Holder
