5 June 2015. Waiting for Godot at The Barbican

A stunning opening with the two characters lit in a colourless landscape. It had a nuclear quality to it. The two main actors complemented each other well, one with a slightly more Australian twang; the other slightly grander. The entry of Pozo and Lucky was played for all it was worth with both actors again providing memorable performance, particularly the moment when poor Lucky is commanded to ‘think’. For me, it was all a really excellent opening to the Beckett season
