Waiting For Godot

I recently saw the new production of Waiting For Godot with my mum. It was pretty good apart from the fact that Patrick Stewart and Ian Mckellen ham it up like some huge oozing New York deli sandwhich on the brink of going off. I think Beckett would be really pissed off with their "we are old and famous and therefore anything we do is good" perfomance . The highlight for me was when the usher flipped out at an old lady for filming the play , she was awkwardly forced to delete the contents of her camera. I am not a huge fan of plays as i always get the impression that everyone is pretending to be more interested than they actually are and think that it is somehow better for them to see a play rather than a film. Secretly, they are yearning to see Terminator Salvation or Night At The Museum 2 . Amongst all the nihilism , waiting, despair and minimal set pieces i couldn't stop thinking about Star Trek the next generation and in turn X Men : The Last Stand , one of Ian and Patrick's more dynamic on screen partnerships.
