Further cast has been announced for Waiting For Godot, which begins performances at the Theatre Royal Haymarket on 13 September.

Directed by James Macdonald, Tom Edden (Crazy For You) will play Lucky and Jonathan Slinger (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) will play Pozzo. They join the previously announced Lucian Msamati (Game of Thrones, Amadeus)as Estragon and Ben Whishaw (James Bond, Paddington) as Vladimir.

The creative team includes Rae Smith (Set and Costume Design), Bruno Poet (Lighting Design), Ian Dickinson and Niamh Gaffney for Autograph (Sound Design), Amy Ball (Casting CDG), Kate West (Production Manager) and Max Harrison (Assistant Director).

Waiting For Godot centres on two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, who wait endlessly and in vain for the arrival of someone named Godot. The play explores themes of existentialism, the absurdity of human existence, and the passage of time.

Waiting For Godot performs at the Theatre Royal Haymarket from 13 September - 14 December 2024.
