Star-studded Beckett classic continues Aussie tour

Waiting For Godot will finish up its Melbourne run this week before going on to play shows in Perth, Adelaide and Sydney.

The legendary Ian McKellen and Desperate Housewives star Roger Rees head an all-star cast as the latest production of Samuel Beckett’s bleak masterpiece continues its tour around Australia this month.

Waiting For Godot began its Aussie run at the Comedy Store in Melbourne on May 6, but will finish up in the Victorian capital this week before kicking off an 11-week sting at His Majesty’s Theatre in Perth from May 28.

From there the show travels on to Adelaide for a three-night stand at Her Majesty’s Theatre (June 9 – 12) before landing in Sydney on June 15 to kick off a month-long run at the Opera House.
