Ben Whishaw and Lucian Msamati bring a potent, tragicomic chemistry to James Macdonald’s rich revival of Samuel Beckett’s challenging play.
- NICK CURTIS
I've been waiting for a production of Godotthis brilliant all my life

In this keystone of modern drama, derelicts Vladimir and Estragon — described by Beckett as “clowns” — battle against the meaningless of life, waiting in a blasted landscape for a man they don’t know who never comes.

The bleak wit and the absurdity sit well with our frightening but also ridiculous times, as does the plaster artificiality of Rae Smith’s set and the occasional breaking of the fourth wall.

Charismatic, sexy and funny...good things really do come in threes

In terms of watchability, a cast made up of Nicola Walker, Stephen Mangan and Erin Doherty is pretty hard to beat. The trio's relatable charisma, and the residual associations of their TV roles in The Split and The Crown (where Doherty played the young Princess Anne) add mightily to the enjoyment of Mike Bartlett's play, in which a loving but romantically stultified middle-aged couple decide to invite a younger woman into their bed and their lives.
