Waiting for Godot

The most significant play of the last century returns to Islamabad.

The Embassy of Ireland in Pakistan presents Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, performed in Urdu.

Following its acclaimed previous run, Qissa Khwani Theatrics brings Beckett’s iconic tragicomedy back to the stage at PNCA. A play about waiting, hope, friendship and the absurdity of the human condition, Waiting for Godot remains one of the most influential works of modern theatre.
