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.

Featuring Simon Gevers and Luke Murphy
