Tim Rogers contemplates what Waiting for Godot teaches us about existence, meaning and the absurdity of life in a Bookish Club not to be missed.
Waiting for Godot is one of the world’s best-known and most frequently staged works of modern drama, a play so referenced and parodied that everyone thinks they know it – even if they’ve never read it.
In the latest edition of Bookish Club, Australian musician, actor and writer Tim Rogers sits down to talk about the text itself: its black humour, its bracing nihilism, its bleak wit, its utter absurdity. Digging into the universal themes of morality and the fleetingness of time, Rogers shares his interpretation of Samuel Beckett’s famously avant-garde work – and how its tragicomedy resonates in his own experience of life.
Settle in at The Moat as Rogers discusses Godot with host Jess McGuire, enjoy some drinks and nibbles, and share your thoughts about the play too. Rest assured that all panellists will actually turn up for the event.
Strictly for audiences 18 and older. Drinks and nibbles will be provided.
Ticket holders are strongly encouraged to read Waiting For Godot by Samuel Beckett before attending this event so that they can contribute to the conversation in true book club fashion.
We recommend purchasing a copy from your favourite local bookstore or borrowing a copy from a library.
