“Waiting for Godot” at The Players’ Ring

The Players’ Ring
105 Marcy St.
Portsmouth, NH 03801 United States

By Samuel Beckett
Directed by Bretton Reis

A bold new staging of a play that has challenged and delighted audiences for over seventy years.

The season opens with one of the most iconic—and unexpectedly hilarious—plays of the 20th century. In Waiting for Godot, two weary wanderers meet under a barren tree to await a mysterious figure, certain that he will change their lives for the  better. As they pass the time, their conversations unravel into absurdity, poetry, and deeply human comedy. Samuel Beckett’s landmark tragicomedy has been hailed as a masterpiece of existential theatre—but don’t let that scare you. With its sharp wit, physical humor, and touching portrayal of friendship in a chaotic world, Godot remains as funny and relevant as ever.
