Post Gazette: A funny thing happened on the way to the comedy "Fat Beckett" making its way to the stage tonight. There wasn't a whole lot of waiting after the play jumped from Point Park University to a Bricolage reading to a Quantum Theatre outpost in Lawrenceville.
In Samuel Beckett's paragon of existentialism, "Waiting for Godot," two characters must pass the time while the unseen title character, who would seem to have the answer to all their questions, maintains his absence. "Fat Beckett" is in the spirit of Beckett's men who wait, only it's infused with the feminist spirit of its collaborators, Gab Cody and Rita Reis.
