The Classical Theatre of Harlem will be presenting Waiting for Godot at 8:00pm on both Friday and Saturday Evening, as well as on Sunday at 3:00pm. This "dauntless" company (New York Times) drew a crowd of 10,000 to the New Orleans performance of its Godot revival, which it staged in the 9th Ward, on the porch of a flooded house, after black Americans had waited months for a more concrete kind of salvation. At Duke, the Harlem-based company's "bracing and immediate" adaptation of Beckett's play (Time Out NY) sharpens yet another radical edge of this timeless parable of abandonment. The tramps, the road, and the tree could be in Wilmington (race riot 1898), Rocky Mount (flooded 1999), Durham -- or anywhere Americans wait for help that either will arrive or won't. The play will be held in Bryan Center Reynolds Industries Theater, and the cost is only $5 for Duke Students.
