Michael Palin and Robert Lindsay stage Zoom play despite rain and phone calls

The reading of Waiting For Godot over Zoom raised money for the Royal Theatrical Fund.

Sir Michael Palin and Robert Lindsay raised £35,000 for charity with a live reading of Waiting For Godot, despite interruptions from a mobile phone and downpour of rain.

The pair were joined by Joanna Lumley, who served as narrator, to read sections of the Samuel Beckett play over Zoom to raise money for the Royal Theatrical Fund, which helps those in the performing arts who are struggling during the coronavirus crisis.
