‘Waiting for Gordo’ is West End smash
It was returns only last night, at the box office for the revival of Samuel Beckett’s black comedy, starring Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. The play depicts two down-at-heel political parties who spend the whole play waiting for the mysterious ‘Gordo’ to resign.
Some critics regard Gordo as representing God - a view that Gordo himself appears to share. But nobody really knows what it all means, because after an interminable series of comical and futile dialogues between the main characters Gordo is still in office and nothing whatsoever has changed.
