ENDGAME
by Samuel Beckett
BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
‘A vision of Beckett’s wasting apocalypse which is at the same time captivating, horrifying and often delightfully funny… the audience [was} rapt for the full ninety minutes of the performance’
BOUQUETS & BRICKBATS – ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
‘Skilfully conceived, this production has a clarity that illuminates Beckett’s dream-like, complex play, making it more accessible than any other version I have seen.’

DISRUPTING STAGES – ★ ★ ★ ★
‘Physically precise, emotionally inhabited and, above all, vocally assured…:to encounter a canonical work performed with this degree of aplomb is a rare opportunity’
THEATRE & TONIC – ★ ★ ★ ★
‘A must-see for theatre lovers… an astounding production which portrays the bleakness of Beckett’s world to perfection… book your ticket now!’
NORTH WEST END – ★ ★ ★ ★
‘Maynard brings a Shakespearan gravitas to the seat-bound and petty Hamm… any Beckett fan can find new pleasure in [it]’
PLAYS INTERNATIONAL & EUROPE – ★ ★ ★ ★
‘An admirable combination of nuance and robustness… the entire cast give performances that are bolder, more confident and, paradoxically, more nuanced than we tend to see in British stagings of Beckett. Flabbergast simply do not make run-of-the-mill productions, as is evinced by this respectful-but-innovative Endgame.’
