"Keanu Reeves plans to begin his Broadway career in the fall of 2025, opposite his longtime 'Bill & Ted' slacker-buddy Alex Winter in 'Waiting for Godot,' the ur-two-guys-being-unimpressive tragicomedy."

I'm reading "How Hollywood Glamour Is Reviving the Endangered Broadway Play/George Clooney, Robert Downey Jr., Denzel Washington and Mia Farrow are coming to Broadway, where some producers see plays with stars as safer bets than musicals" (NYT).

Just yesterday, I was scanning the New York theater listings, hoping to find things worth seeing next time I make it to New York, and "Waiting for Godot" caught my eye, because I've been a big fan of the play ever since I happened to see it on TV — the Zero Mostel/Burgess Meredith production — when I was a teenager. Then I saw this new production had Keanu Reeves, and my real-time reaction was "I’m a little afraid of Keanu Reeves fans ruining the audience."

From the NYT article:

"Time Enough at Last" — the sequel.

Remember that great episode of "Twilight Zone" with Burgess Meredith as Henry Bemis, the guy who only wanted to be left alone to read and gets his wish? Embedded below are the last 8 minutes to refresh your recollection (and you can watch the beginning and middle here and here if you want.)(And here's the Wikipedia entry to get up to speed more quickly.)



What I've been contemplating is "Time Enough at Last: The Sequel." I have my idea, but you go first.

ADDED: Here's better video, all in one piece, with a commercial.
