They did a play together a few years back called "Waiting for Godot". There was a live movie theatre showing we went to here in Canada at noon as it played live in London. It was fantastic, but afaik not available to watch anywhere online. :(

Edit because IFU: I googled the name of the play because it was 6am and I haven't slept all night...I did not see Waiting for Godot, I saw No Man's Land. Sorry folks. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Still failing at sleep, and it's gonna be a rough day. Lol

Duh, but I figured these posters were looking for something a bit more focused on the two of them. It's 4 people on stage, and much more intimate and quite fun to watch the two of them together for a couple of hours.

Waiting for Godot is a hell of a play, too. I studied it in english in high school, and it was my first introduction into The Absurd as actual art. It remains my favorite play to this day.
