It was worth waiting for Godot from Korea.
- The Irish Press (Ireland)
The world has recognized Lim Young-woong’s Waiting for Godot
To celebrate its 50th anniversary of the premiere in 1969, Myeongdong Theater of the National Theater Company of Korea presents the historical, long-lasting bestseller Waiting for Godot, which has received love from about 220,000 viewers from 1,500 performances.
Sanwoollim Theatre Company’s Waiting for Godot has become a monumental work in the modern history of Korean theatre, as it is the first Korean troupe to be invited to world-renowned theater festivals, such as the Festival d’Avignon of France, and to perform in Dublin, Poland, Japan, and other countries, receiving rave reviews from critics.
Experience the invigorating moments and honest performances of actors such as Jung Dong-hwan, Ahn Suk-hwan, Kim Myeong-guk and others who worked the stage of Waiting for Godot together for a long time.
“Nothing happens and no one comes nor goes.”
Under a bare tree.
Two people are waiting for “Godot.”
They don’t know who Godot is and why they are waiting for him.
At times, this story, which is both a comedy and tragedy, will cast a question upon you.
What is your “Godot?”
