Remain in Light will be mounting their version of Samuel Beckett's “Waiting for Godot” along with Daniel MacIvor’s “House” for a five-week run from August 4 to September 6, 2008 at the Paper Mill Theatre.

Remain in Light’s “Waiting for Godot” is re-imagined as taking place at the end of WWII. The story about a Nazi soldier and his Jewish slave has relevant parallels to the current quagmire in Iraq.

According to Hirsh and Seeley, “this is a play that will eventually disappear from our social conscience if it isn’t given enough attention. It needs our attention like a Leo on their birthday. Like all great plays that aren’t given a new birth, Beckett's "Waiting for Godot" will get old and bitter and cease to be the thing it used to be - inspiring.

Remain in Light is excited by the ideas and images of Beckett; one of the world’s most important playwrights. "We are working with courage and passion to stage a new, thought-provoking interpretation of this classic work… we are almost there…we are on the edge."

Remain in Light’s take on Daniel MacIvor’s "House" - The solo performance has become a significant genre in contemporary Canadian theatre. No playwright or performer has been as influential on this genre as Daniel MacIvor. He first entered our lives with "House" - a show that was not a show, but rather an intimate, therapy session with both actor and character. "House" is as hilarious as it is touching, and regardless of its incessant comedy, there are still places to breathe and to reflect upon the life of Victor; a man who, by his own admission is losing his grip on reality. His father is the saddest man in the world. His sister is in love with a dog. The woman he loves does not love him and he has no place to live since he found out that his wife was a dominatrix and his co-workers were her clients. How was your day?
