Waiting for Godot cast talk about visiting the Samuel Beckett Archive

Stars of stage and screen came to the Museum of English Rural Life this summer to visit the Samuel Beckett Collection, housed here at the University of Reading, ahead of the opening of a new production of Waiting for Godot.

Ben Whishaw, Lucian Msamati, Tom Edden and Jonathan Slinger and director James MacDonald, spent a morning looking through Beckett's notebooks, letters and collections of photographs from earlier productions of Waiting for Godot, and we asked them to tell us what the experience meant to them.

The Beckett Collection is the largest in the world officially Designated by Arts Council England as an outstanding collection. Find out more at https://collections.reading.ac.uk/spe...
