Is it a tree trunk? Is it a void?

Those are some questions “Waiting for Godot” set and costume designer Soutra Gilmour asked during the creative process of bringing Samuel Beckett’s beloved play to Broadway.

“Waiting for Godot” has been a mainstay of the New York theater scene. Past revivals have attracted A-list stars such as Steve Martin, Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, Bill Irwin, John Goodman, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves starred in Lloyd’s revival as the two men who sit around and wait for Godot to show up.
