CBCShop.ca: By the side of a deserted country road, two tramps await the arrival of the mysterious Godot. The more they argue, question and complain, the more their predicament begins to resemble that of humanity looking for meaning in an absurd universe. Brian Bedford, director of the acclaimed Stratford Festival production, also directs this staged reading of a truly haunting, perplexing and sardonically amusing play, generally recognized as the quintessential play of the 20th century. Written by Samuel Beckett, Directed by Brian Bedford, Music composed and performed by Don Horsburgh, Starring Tom McCamus and Stephen Ouimette
