Waiting For Godot

Jungle Theatre
2951 Lyndale Ave South Minneapolis

Twin Cities favorites Nathan Keepers (Estragon) and Jim Lichtscheidl (Vladimir) take on the leading roles in The Jungle Theater’s WAITING FOR GODOT, Samuel Beckett’s “tragicomedy in two acts,” widely considered one of the most significant plays of the 20th century. Artistic Director Bain Boehlke directs the duo who play two old friends debating the meaning of life and the absurdities of human behavior in this funny, captivating and illuminating production.

  Waiting For Godot Reviews

Star Tribune - Highly Recommended

"...Director Bain Boehlke's "Godot," which opened Friday at the Jungle Theater, stays grounded in the symbiosis of Beckett's two tramps. Actors Jim Lichtscheidl and Nathan Keepers spare none of the antic fun that are staples of "Godot" productions. But ultimately, we walk away caring for Didi and Gogo -- hoping they will be OK and that the world will notice them."

How Was The Show - Highly Recommended

"... Godot director Bain Boehlke understands all this perfectly and his reading of this oft-produced (and oft-mangled) delight is straight-forward and unencumbered. Didi (aka Vladimir) and Gogo (Estragon) have tumbled down a very strange rabbit hole into a blasted and eerie landscape, where they live on carrots, discuss hanging themselves from a dead tree, talk incessantly (to relieve the overwhelming burden of time). Their savior is one Monsieur Godot and he, daily, sends a nervous child to request that Didi and Gogo wait another day. They do."

Aisle Say Twin Cities - Highly Recommended

"...The proverbial stark set, designed by director Bain Boehlke, adheres to Beckett’s barren aesthetic, where even the rise of the evening moon signifies exhaustion and sterility: another fallow day of our life has evaporated in frustration. Godot has forfeited another coming. But on stage are Estragon (Nathan Keepers) and Vladimir (Jim Lichtscheidl), and their interaction is the antithesis to the desolation and abjection of the visual aesthetic of the play."
