Godot`s To-Do List Tickets and Hotel

The Show
Godot's To Do List will be presented as a curtain-raiser and will be followed, every performance, by Gary Oldman (Slow Horses) in Samuel Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape which returns to the Royal Court, where it played in 1958.

This celebrates a seven-decade-old tradition of curtain-raisers: Krapp's Last Tape's own debut was as a curtain-raiser on our stage.

'Could I leave? Please? It's just, I really have somewhere to be.

'A bewildered person wrestles with an endless series of surreal tasks dictated by a snarky, persistent mystery voice.

A new short comedy about the absurd chaos of modern existence - marking the professional debut of Leo Simpe-Asante, winner of the inaugural 2025 Royal Court Young Playwrights Award and named 2026 Jerwood New Playwright, directed by Aneesha Srinivasan.

Leo is the 2026 recipient of the Jerwood New Playwright accolade.
