Dates announced for Waiting for Godot
Kitty, April 14th, 2025The wait is on for Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter's on-stage reunion!
Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter set off on another excellent adventure as they reunite in a brand new production of Samuel Beckett's surrealist masterpiece, directed by Jamie Lloyd! Announced today, the show will be beginning previews on September 13, ahead of a projected opening night of September 28 and will run to January 4, 2026.
First performing together as loveable slackers in the cult classic 1989 movie Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Reeves and Winter have both enjoyed solo success in Hollywood, both on and behind the camera. This much-anticipated stage team-up brings them together again for the first time since 2020, when they reprised their roles for Bill & Ted Face The Music. In a joint statement, the pair remarked, "We're incredibly excited to be on stage together and work with the great Jamie Lloyd in one of our favourite plays". So are we guys!
What is the story?
A perennial favorite largely considered one of modern theatre's best plays, Beckett's Waiting for Godot centers on the colorful conversations between two men, Vladimir and Estragon as they wait for the arrival of someone named Godot. As they perform mundane tasks and converse about a wide array of subjects from the trivial to the serious, they encounter three other characters who compound their experience of nothingness, i.e. Vladimir and Estragon keep waiting for someone who'll never show up in a theatrical limbo that poses many an empirical question but answers none.
