Endgame
THE CUTTING BALL THEATER PRESENTS Endgame by Samuel Beckett
***NOW EXTENDED THROUGH MARCH 23RD*** Directed by Rob Melrose February 22- March 16* at Traveling Jewish Theatre (TJT)
Sharper and more satirical than Waiting for Godot, this absurdist masterpiece takes place as civilization is about to end. Based on the last moves of a chess game, the play follows the attacks and parries of the worlds four remaining inhabitants, two of whom are in garbage cans. (This is the play that actually inspired Oscar the Grouch!)
David Sinaiko and Avery Monsen, last seen in Cutting Balls acclaimed Taming of the Shrew, return to the comany as the comedic pair, Hamm and Clov, in this inspired Beckett one-act.
"The Cutting Ball's artistic director, Rob Melrose, has a talent for mining classics for hidden themes and bringing musty old texts to life with intelligent physicality and arresting visual metaphor." - SF Weekly
