Endgame (2016) - Samual Beckett - Trailer (Drama, Theater)

  • 8 years ago
I went to see "Endgame" at the Kirk Douglas Theater in Los Angeles, CA last night and it was simply impressive to say the least. The actors were impeccable.

CRITIC'S CHOICE
"The best rendering of the play I've encountered…done to perfection."
—Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times

"There may be no finer interpreter of Beckett living."
—Evan Henerson, TheaterMania

"Mandell and McGovern's stage camaraderie is a wonder to behold."
—Shari Barrett, Broadway World

"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.
