About the Show
September 12 – October 11, 2026
by SAMUEL BECKETT; directed by JOSEPH HAJ
A profound exploration of humanity
Beneath a lonely tree on a country road, two companions wait for the mysterious Godot. As time moves along, Vladimir and Estragon fill their day circling the largest of questions: Why are we here? What are we here for? Who are we to be? Samuel Beckett’s tragicomedy uses wit and poignant dialogue to create an existential world that is both humorous and heartbreaking. Staged at the Guthrie for the first time in over 50 years, this seminal play explores the human impulses to want more, to understand why and to keep showing up — even when nothing seems to change.
Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner David Strathairn, best known for his performances in Good Night, and Good Luck, The Bourne Ultimatum and Lincoln, will make his Guthrie debut as Vladimir.
