In this cheeky satire, an old hypochondriac believes in nothing and no one--except the dubious diagnoses his quack doctors keep delivering. A.C.T.'s new production of The Imaginary Invalid offers a hysterical exposé of society's childlike devotion to staying "well"--and a prescription for a rollicking good time.

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.

This is vintage ACT, the kind of show they have historically done best. It is very funny, beautifully staged, and with great cast.

Too sily- reminded me of high school skits--trite. Was there musing in the original? Took too many liberties from the original
