The Black List

It’s been seventy years…and somehow, we’re all still WAITING FOR GODOT. Samuel Beckett’s beloved, oft-performed surrealist play made its English-language debut on this day in London in 1955. Tell us: Are you more of a Vladimir or an Estragon? Which actors would you like to see take on those roles?

Filipe is an alum of the 2020 #BlackListLab, and a three-time annual Black Lister, with projects WHITTIER (co-written with Ben Mehlman), JAMBUSTERS, and PATSY.
