In September and October of this year, the Gate Theatre will embark on its first ever all Ireland (32 County) tour. As part of the theatre’s 80th anniversary celebrations, the Gate’s acclaimed production of Waiting for Godot will tour to 40 venues across the 32 counties of Ireland, playing for one night only in each venue.
In 1988, Samuel Beckett asked Michael Colgan to produce Waiting for Godot at the Gate, and that Walter Asmus, his assistant director on the famous Schiller Theatre production, direct. Hailed by the international press as “the definitive Godot”, this production has since toured all over the world, including China, Melbourne and Toronto, receiving unprecedented critical acclaim, and was also a central part of the Gate’s Beckett Festivals in Dublin (1991 and 2006), New York (1996) and London (1999 and 2006).
The official press launch will be held on Wednesday, 14th May in which all members of the Irish and international media will be invited to attend. Further details, and the venues to which this eagerly awaited production will tour, will be announced on this date.
