Description
Beckett fans and Beckett himself consider Endgame to be his best play. Even sharper and more satirical than Waiting for Godot, Endgame takes place in a little room at the end of civilization. Based on the last moves of a chess game, the play follows the attacks and parries of its four remaining inhabitants as they cut each other with wickedly funny and withering insults. Two of these inhabitants are in garbage cans. Yes, this is the play that inspired Oscar the Grouch.

Our production features David Sinaiko and Avery Monsen as the comedic pair Hamm and Clov. Last seen in Cutting Ball’s production of The Taming of the Shrew in the master / servant relationship of Petruchio and Grumio, David and Avery are looking forward to bringing the commedia work they developed with Shakespeare and applying it to Beckett.
