Waiting For * * * *

...and they got them!


Mostly four star reviews coming in for this highly anticipated production at the Theatre Royal.
Every day sees a meeting between producers and performers to try and get in extra weeks on the end of its already extended season.
The director of 'Godot', Sean Mathias, is said to be wiling to delay the next production at the theatre which he is also directing so that 'Godot' can get in as many extra weeks as possible.
The biggest problem being that McKellern and Steward are two of todays busiest performers in film, TV and theatre.
Sean Mathias is due to direct the the new version of 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' for the Theatre Royal this autumn.

Has the Broadway one been as well reviewed?

That cast is pretty fab too, I'm a big Bill Irwin fan after his performance in 'Virginia Wolf' last year!
