Live and affordable, Samuel Beckett’s classic Waiting for Godot is to be performed at the Lantern Theatre Liverpool on the 3rd and 4th of October. Celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, Godot’s themes are as relevant today as they were then, or perhaps even more so.
Brought to you by one of Liverpool’s newest theatre companies, Big Teeth aim to tell their anguish of waiting by showcasing their unique interpretation of the existentialist’s Holy Grail of text. Normally, it costs a lot of money and a round trip to London to see such a piece but Big Teeth aim to bring classic texts that we read, study and discuss so often but rarely see, to your doorstep.
Founded by 2013 Liverpool Hope graduates, Sean Kirkpatrick and Joel Whitall, Big Teeth’s actors, directors and producers are all graduates and emerging performers living in Liverpool. With Creative Director Joel Whitall being a member of the Liverpool Everyman and Playhouse’s Young Writers programme for 2012/13 they hope to, in near future, produce and promote new writing as well.
Tickets for Waiting For Godot can be purchased on the Lantern Theatre’s website www.lanterntheatreliverpool.co.uk or on the night of the performances, doors open at 7.00pm show at 7.30pm, tickets are £10 and £6 concession.
