About the show

Bold and muscular with haunting physicality and razor-sharp comedy, this gripping staging of Samuel Beckett’s Endgame brings the playwright’s poetic masterpiece to life. In a dying world, four survivors cling to routine, memory and one another as time slowly runs out. Brutal humour and stark poetry collide in a raw, visually striking production blending physical theatre with Beckett’s savage wit. Devastating, hilarious, strangely tender, this fearless interpretation captures the dark comedy and haunting humanity of one of theatre’s greatest modern classics. 'Wonderfully fearless imagination and visceral strength' ***** (BritishTheatreGuide.info, for Macbeth). Supported by Theatre Royal Winchester.
