Anthony Page, the director of the Broadway revival of Waiting for Godot, discusses the production and the late Samuel Beckett in The New York Times article below.
Playing Six Degrees of Samuel Beckett with Anthony Page, the director of the Broadway revival of “Waiting for Godot,” doesn’t take very long.As the artistic director at the Royal Court Theater in London at various times from 1964 through 1973, Mr. Page worked with Beckett on the first British revival of “Godot.” Talk about source material.
“He was full of humor,” Mr. Page said of that time, when Beckett was nearing 60 and Mr. Page was about 30. “We enjoyed working on it with him.”
The new “Godot” revival, a production of the Roundabout Theater Company, opens Thursday at Studio 54 with Nathan Lane and Bill Irwin as the tramps Estragon and Vladimir, John Goodman as the blowhard Pozzo and John Glover as his slave, Lucky.
Mr. Page sat down last week to discuss what it’s like to direct the classic play and to narrate an audio slide show about working with Beckett. Read more here.
