A new Glasgow production of *Waiting for Godot*, starring George Costigan and Matthew Kelly, opens Feb. 26, 2026, highlighting human connection amid existential despair.

A new production of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, directed by Dominic Hill and starring George Costigan and Matthew Kelly, opens at Glasgow’s Citizens Theatre, offering a poignant, human take on the existential classic. Set in a stark, war-ravaged landscape, the play emphasizes isolation and futility, yet finds warmth in the bond between Vladimir and Estragon. Their weary, naturalistic performances, marked by subtle humor and emotional depth, highlight resilience in meaninglessness. Gbolahan Obisesan and Michael Hodgson deliver striking portrayals of Pozzo and Lucky, adding tension and surrealism. The production, a co-production with Liverpool’s Everyman and Bolton’s Octagon, transfers to those venues later in 2026.
