Scurry to the Lebanon Opera House to see their production of Waiting for Godot.
As superb an evening of theater as you can ever have, anywhere.
William Michael Maher directs. In his program notes he ways there are three moments in (western) theatre history:
Oedipus Rex, Hamlet and Godot. Hmm. He makes his point.
Gogo played by Donald Wakefield
Didi played by Mark Irish
Lucky is David Shaw
Jeff Berry is fantastic as Pozzo
All four are just electric, brilliant, monumental.
Irish is in the new tv series Nurse Jackie
The play is very funny & casts a halo over your life for a good while
Walking through WalMart this evening, everyone, every move, felt straight
out of “A country road. A tree. Evening.”
In fact as we drove into the parking lot a woman walked toward us, bent way over,
pulling her loaded basked with great effort with one arm, talking to her cell
phone with the other, wild long flowing hair, Mother Courage herself, Gogo &
Didi wrapped up in one, pure music hall comic tramp, waiting herself for Godot, too.
