"Waiting for Godot" (Theatre Royal Haymarket) @ Comedy Theatre

Not amazing, but predictably good, what with Ian McKellen and Roger Rees (aka Lord John Marbury from The West Wing) as Estragon and Vladimir; the actors playing Pozzo and Lucky also v.g. This production elects for a lighter, more comic slant than I'd imagined while reading the play; setting the action on a ruined stage is a nice touch, and apt.
