Task: Have an existential crisis completed! Task: Stop having an existential crisis failed.In a sort-of place at a sort-of time, Godot sits on a wooden stool, sort-of existing. He's late to a meeting with his friends and wants to leave. Unfortunately, this isnt possible until he completes everything on his To-Do List, dictated to him by a snarky, omniscient voice from the ether. Godots To-Do List is a Waiting for Godot spoof, asking what on earth Godot couldve been doing to be that late to meeting his friends. Throughout the play, Godot is given seemingly meaningless tasks to complete, all with unique, humorous, and unexpected solutions. Its a dark absurdist comedy that questions the meaning of life, and whether all of our actions - past, present, and future - are just one big to-do list.This production marks Leo Simpe-Asante's (GODOT) professional writing and directing debut. He is studying Musical Theatre at RCSSD. His play Cock Ups was shortlisted for and received a rehearsed reading at INK 2025. His debut musical 'Penelope' was shortlisted for BEAM 2025, the biennial showcase for new British musical theatre. Described as "one of the most exciting young voices" in the application process, he was selected to present an Artist Spotlight at the conference. Milly Thorpe (TO-DO LIST) is thrilled to return to the Camden Fringe in this compelling two-hander play. After graduating from the Mountview acting foundation last year, she is currently studying Musical Theatre at RCSSD. Past productions include (VOICE) written and directed by Ethan Conroy-Simm which was put on at the Etcetera Theatre for Camden Fringe 2024. Performed as Hamlet for Mountviews Shakespeare project.Jay Kavanagh (Co-Director) is a newcomer to the Camden Fringe.

Godots To-Do List marks his professional directing debut.Technical Manager: Abby Walsh

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
