Stage Preview: It's 'Godot' at last
Post Gazette: "Irish actor Barry McGovern denies that the staging of Samuel Beckett's 'Waiting for Godot' by the Gate Theatre of Dublin is an especially 'Irish' version."

I have a friend who did a staging of Godot in traditional Japanese Noh style. Apparently the Beckett foundation is very controlling of how this play is done, and he spent the better part of a year getting permission to do it in this style. So the contention that this version is especially irish is a little silly. Godot is done the way Beckett would have wanted it done, and only in those ways. That said, these are three amazing performers, and it could possibly besaid that what they bring to the performance is what makes it especially anything.
