A.C.T. Performs Endgame and Play - A Beckett Double Bill
- Full Price:
- $25.00 - $79.00
- Our Price:
- $15.00 - $47.40
American Conservatory Theater performs a double bill of two outstanding plays from master playwright Samuel Beckett. Endgame and Play are a pair of absurd dark comedies that conjure a fiercely funny and emotionally gripping world. In Endgame, Tony Award winner Bill Irwin takes on the role of Hamm, who is trapped between life and death with his young servant, Clov. Together they engage in a chess match of wits in this vivid exploration of the end of life. This iconic work will be presented together with Beckett's rarely performed one-act Play, a brief comic tour de force about marriage and infidelity, featuring members of A.C.T.'s core acting company.

I've gladly given this 5 stars, not because it's a magnificent play, but because by its simplicity and grace, it thoroughly satisfies. It's a crowd-pleasing evening. It fully accomplishes what it intends to. Nothing less. Nothing more.Written on Jan 21 2012
Remarkably sincere, poignant, tender, honest, respectful and very FUNNY---if you like good physical clowning. I highly recommend it. Lorenzo is a charmer.

Yes, it is a comedy but there is a wonderful blend of family turmoil and/or angst that gives the audience a peek behind the famed Pickle Family Circus. Lorenzo's jokes, pratfalls, and antics are a bonus and help shape the story.Written on Jan 19 2012
I highly recommend this play for everyone - though probably not a great "kids" show other than the four extended "clowning" portions.

Let me start by saying I hate clowns. Not afraid of them like some people, I just have not traditionally found them funny. Lorenzo, who claims to not be funny, was very enjoyable. I wish I'd gone earlier in the run so I could spread word how fun this show was. He's a very engaging performer with an entirely unique story to tell.Written on Feb 06 2012
