Corrie’s Roy Cropper is Waiting For Godot

November 23, 2007

 Corrie star David Neilson (pictured, left) is soon to tread the boards at Manchester’s Library Theatre, playing the role of Lucky in Waiting For Godot, in his first theatre work since 1995.

“The last time I was on stage was 13 years ago, and I’m interested in being in a Rehearsal Room again for three or four weeks. It’s going to be a bit of culture shock, not least having to turn up for the second night to do it, because usually once I’ve done it, I go home!” said David, who plays the much loved Roy Cropper in the long running Granada Soap Opera.

Joining David are Library Theatre favourites, David Fielder and George Costigan, who will be takling the leads roles of Vladimir and Estragon in the theatre’s eagerly awaited production of Samuel Beckett’s classic absurdist tragi-comedy Waiting or Godot, which opens on Friday 1 February, 2007.

Directed by the Library’s artistic director, Chris Honer, the run has already been extended by a week, and the production will now finish on Saturday 8 March.

Tickets are now on sale at the Library Theatre box office on 0161 236 7110 or via the theatre’s website.
