If you have been waiting for tickets for Godot, you're in luck. The critically acclaimed production of Samuel Beckett's essential absurdist masterpiece Waiting for Godot at Theatre Royal Haymarket will extend its run an additional week until 21 December.

The production stars Lucian Msamati as Estragon and Ben Whishaw as Vladimir, two men who wait endlessly for a stranger to appear and for something miraculous to happen. They just don't know what.

Tom Eden, Jonathan Slinger, Luca Fone, Alexander Joseph and Ellis Pang sharing the role of The Boy and Dean Graham, and David Lee-Jones also join the production.

Waiting for Godot, directed by James Macdonald, opened 19 September and will continue to run at Theatre Royal Haymarket until 21 December.
