Endgame
OFF SALE
Apr 24 – May 22, 2016
Samuel Beckett's Classic
In the absurdist world of “Endgame,” somewhere between existence and death, four characters, Hamm, Clov, Nagg and Nell, cling to sanity while performing daily rituals, sometimes comically, as they wrestle some sort of order from the cyclical, repetitious, seemingly nothingness of life.
CRITIC'S CHOICE: "The best rendering of the play I've encountered…done to perfection." -- Los Angeles Times
"Nothing is funnier than unhappiness" in the absurdist world of Samuel Beckett. Such is the case in Endgame, considered to be his greatest single work. Told with Beckett’s signature macabre humor, this "grim joke on the futility of life" (The New York Times) finds four characters somewhere between life and death as they prepare for oblivion.
Endgame is directed by and features Alan Mandell, returning to Center Theatre Group beside his celebrated Waiting for Godot counterpart Barry McGovern along with Anne Gee Byrd, James Greene, and Charlotte Rae. Anne Gee Byrd and Charlotte Rae will alternate in the role of Nell.
“There may be no finer interpreter of Beckett living.” -- Evan Henerson, TheatreMania
“Mandell and McGovern's stage camaraderie is a wonder to behold.” -- Shari Barrett, Broadway World
