Waiting for Godot is the kind of play that everyone seems to have a connection to one way or another. Many of us learn about it in school, others are theatre people, and then there are people like my mother: A woman who doesn’t do acting and yet had to memorize Lucky’s nonsensical monologue.
When Jamie Lloyd’s Waiting for Godot was announced with Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure stars Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter leading the charge, I knew one thing: The actor playing Lucky better be on point. The monologue is long and tiring but it is Lucky’s big moment within the show. And one that has connected my family despite me being the only “theatre” kid among us.
