"As a visitor to Perth who likes to see live theatre, this was a terrific show in a great venue. The versatility and impact of the acting and its closeness was most appreciated."
Zen's Red Mouth audience member, July 2007

"Loved the show, I always enjoy the performances at The Blue Room. Artsy atmosphere, but not pretentious, cutting edge performances. Never boring"

Featuring Simon Gevers and Luke Murphy

Bubba and Bubby are on a quest for fulfilment.

Contemporary avenues of satisfaction such as fast food and Real Estate offer limited consolation.

All is overseen by TV. Always there; advertising, canning laughter and flattening life, sex and death onto a screen.

“Any on of these people could be a terriblist…”

And who is Rotto? Will they ever meet her? Do they even believe in her?

Melding art, performance and music (and absurd references to quokkas, Madonna, and Hungry Jacks), Waiting for Rotto heralds the return of eclectic duo Simon Gevers and Luke Murphy (sub:URB), in a collaboration based on Beckett’s Waiting for Godot.

“No, they’re not self-indulgent self-abusers” – Lynn Fisher, The West Australian.

Waiting for Rotto is a comedy, tragedy, eulogy, vaudevillogy, Willagee; sure to appeal to anyone who has ever lived in Perth, questioned the meaning of life, or waited for Rotto.
