Godot is a woman
In 1953 a man wrote a play about waiting
In 1988 he sued five women for trying to perform it
In 2001 Madonna released ‘What It Feels Like for a Girl’
It’s 2024 and we’re still waiting.
​
​
Since Samuel Beckett wrote Waiting for Godot,
he and his estate have notoriously challenged - often legally - non-male companies
that wish to perform it
​
A whip-smart interrogation of gender, authorial copyright and the cultural significance of Madonna's 1989 album, Like a Prayer, Silent Faces return with their trademark style of playful, political, physical theatre.
