ENDGAME at the CITIZENS THEATRE

An unobtrusive spare set greeted the audience , always a good sign because it allows the dialogue to rightly take the centre-stage.
In the video below the actors give their take on the play and what its main themes are.


This short piece in The Herald gives a good precise synopsis of the play and the production.

"WHERE Waiting for Godot is a play that can't begin, Endgame is a play that can't finish. The two amount to pretty much the same thing, a wry comment on the futility of existence performed as a wry comment on the futility of theatre. The irony is that the
deeper these plays sink into life's meaningless void, the more life-affirming they become."

Sitting in front of me (one seat removed) was a Friend that is a playwright herself and has seen many productions of the play , she was too busy dropping newspapers which the guy next to me had to retrieve from under her seat whilst i was too busy being in the zone that one has to be in order to decipher what the hell you have just watched on stage when attending Beckett.The production in the video below is her all time favourite.
