"...For me, the part of the play that shone the brightest was Dave Hanson‘s script. Fans of or anyone familiar with Beckett’s play will appreciate the skill with which Hanson has re-imagined the play; Val and Ester are waiting for the big break that may never arrive just as Vladimir and Estragon wait for a man whose arrival is similarly unlikely. Their conversation is just as fragmented and meaningless, and while Hanson’s characters may touch on a deeper meaning more directly than Beckett’s do, the blend of absurdist comedy and true-to-life tragedy is still there. The way that Hanson re-situates Beckett’s story into a very real world, while echoing and reformatting lines directly from the play is massively impressive, and entertaining to observe."

"...Performed by a sparkling cast, Waiting for Waiting for Godot is a masterful collection of theater insider jokes, though you needn't be "in the loop" to enjoy the evening. While Dave Hanson's clever send up of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot includes some reflection, commentary, and even some of the dialogue from the classic play, most of the humor comes from anecdotes and commentary about what it is like to live and work as a not-quite-yet-successful actor."
