\nAlex Winter as \u2018Vladimir,\u2019 Michael Patrick Thornton as \u2018Lucky\u2019 (in wheel chair), Brandon J. Dirden as \u2018Pozzo\u2019 (seated on stage), and Keanu Reeves as \u2018Estragon.\u2019 \/ Andy Henderson<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Reeves\u2019 standout moment comes when he lets out a clotted, anguished roar when they arrive for an umpteenth time at a non-answer for where Godot is, and when to expect him. However, if Godot never comes, if inertia and entrapment and finally death are all there is, then at least the men have each other. And maybe there is hope for this pair above all the other Didi and Gogos before them: as Bill and Ted, Reeves and Winter win out over\u2014and even win over\u2014Death in Bill & Ted\u2019s Bogus Journey <\/i>and Bill & Ted Face the Music<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Reeves, Winter, and Lloyd have not produced a revolutionary or revelatory Godot<\/i> (you\u2019re still grateful to inhale the night air when Beckett\u2019s existential trudge is done), but they have found a route to a non-disastrous, pleasurable one.<\/p>\n
Reeves and Winter make you feel it when the men embrace\u2014as if one is holding on to the life raft embodied by the other\u2014and when they quietly care for each other, strange day after strange day. If this is stunt casting, then it is stunt casting with a sweetened depth. Their Didi and Gogo are a plausible flipside to Bill and Ted, for whom loyalty and friendship were the bedrock of their heroism. Whether Beckett intended it or not, and no matter the forces of nihilism assailing them, you feel this Didi and Gogo are going to be excellent to each other for eternity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
