A Couple Of Knights On Broadway

Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen play Vladimir and Estragon in Waiting for Godot, one of two 20th-century classics they're doing in repertory this season on Broadway.

 Godot, Samuel Beckett's triumph of existential anxiety, takes place in a bleak landscape where Vladimir and Estragon, two seedy tramps and longtime friends are waiting to meet the mysterious man of the title. The play is, in turns, very funny and very disturbing. Ian McKellen says audiences find much to recognize in it.
