STAGE

Wait No Longer: A judge in Paris has ruled that Samuel Beckett’s play “Waiting for Godot” can be performed by a female cast but that a letter of objection from the late playwright’s representative must be read before each show. Jerome Lindon, who is designated under French law to protect the integrity of Beckett’s works, had tried to block the production of the play by the Brut de Beton theater company at the prestigious Avignon Festival. Lindon said the play was about male characters and would be deformed by an all-women cast. But the judge ruled Friday that the production would not damage Beckett’s legacy. The play will begin its run in Paris on Tuesday.
