A great production of a significant play. Turturo, in particular, brought extra life to the show as the lead. Beckett's Endgame, like most of Shakespeare, is accessible and moving when the actors know how to handle it and painful and dull when the actors cannot pull it off. This production was wonderful. Unfortunately, because of the short run, I won't be able to see it twice.
