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.

The usual excellent ACT production values--actors,direction, set, promotion, etc--have been lavished on this sophomoric attempt at adult humor. Who selects these feeble scripts that throw away everyone's valuable time on both sides of the footlights?Written on May 03 2010

Several moments of fine acting using great writing, but production was over directed with actors 'over the top' several time throughout the program. As always, ACT does an outstanding job with sets/lighting/sound (the cat was great!). Had a few problems with casting choices.Written on May 05 2010

The set was wonderful; story line silly but typical British humor, which "I get". The guy playing the seducer was spectacular and he had the best lines. It wasn't "hilarious" but light enough to make you giggle and keep you entertained. Story was easy to follow and kept me engaged throughout. I walked out feeling "lighter & happier" for the experience. Not worth full price but great bargain on Gold Star for 1/2 price. I would see it again or take friends, truly I would.Written on May 08 2010

Description
In the "explosively hilarious" (London's Guardian) third installment of Alan Ayckbourn's acclaimed trilogy The Norman Conquests, librarian Norman, to whom family members refer as a "badly built haystack," channels his inner Casanova in fervent attempts to seduce his two sisters-in-law, as well as his estranged wife, during a weekend family gathering.
In this sex farce full of unfulfilled desire, Tony Award–winning director John Rando (Urinetown, the Musical) allows us a satisfying voyeuristic gaze into Ayckbourn's "gleefully torrid little world" (Entertainment Weekly).
