SYNOPSIS
The Loyola University New Orleans Department of Theatre Arts & Dance presents a fresh and timely adaptation of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. This production will be set in the Louisiana wetlands, spoiled by the oil spill and decades of other pollution and ecological consequences.
Director Laura Hope will stress the humor in the script and as well as the pathos of the ecological dilemmas and disasters facing southern Louisiana. Grotesquely beautiful and utterly absorbing Godot is a brilliant, bitter, comic portrait of the dogged resilience of man's spirit in the face of little hope. In this production, Vladimir and Estragon used to be professional fishermen in the Gulf of Mexico and the waterways of southern Louisiana, whose only employ now is to clean the wetlands with paper towels, now that all the fish are all dead. They are “waiting for Godot”, a mysterious figure who will neither explain their interminable insignificance nor put an end to it.
