were Vladimir and Estragon women too?
they weren’t in it, though they were mentioned. :) the cast were 2 women and one non-binary. The show was actually about the fact that they weren’t allowed to do “Waiting for Godot” because the estate of Samuel Beckett wouldn’t allow it. So in a sense they were “waiting for waiting for Godot”. While they were waiting, they did clown stuff, danced, and talked about why they were denied permission to put on the play. Highly recommended :D
 
I didn't know there was such a prohibition. I doubt Beckett would have objected. It's a play in which the sex/ gender of the actors is wholly irrelevant to the action - or absence of it.

Apparently there has always been such a prohibition; Maggie Smith and Fiona Shaw were going to do WFG but the Beckett estate said NO WOMEN :mad: The Silent Faces group I saw managed to establish that the ban apparently extends to trans and non-binary actors as well. :doh:

Would fit very well with a show I saw the other day in a little Somerset village hall: “Godot Is a Woman” :D :zlumi:
Makes sense. Women always make you wait.

He did indeed. In 1988 he sued a Dutch theater company to block them from staging an all female production. He lost and then tried to ban any productions of his work in the entire Netherlands.
Beckett was insistent that he works had to be performed exactly as written including details of casting and stage direction and opposed any other interpretations. His estate, now managed by his nephew, is even more protective.
