Endgame

Synopsis

Set in a bare, partially underground room, Beckett's 1957 existentialist play finds a wheel-chair bound Hamm passing the time by ordering his servant Clov to move him around, fetch objects and peer out the window for signs of life, while his bin-dwelling parents Nagg and Nell look on.

Having never seen a version of samuel beketts 'End Game' before nor indeed seen any of his other plays i cannot unfortunatly be critical against charles sturideges view. However I can post my thoughts! In my opinion this was a very deep, emotional play with many thought provoking moments and it cirtainly captured beketts power of making the audince laugh and then making them extreamly uncomfortable about it. The use of clovs hight made it even more thought provoking for the audience to watch him limping from one side of the stage to the other continually forgetttin things and getting extreamly frustated with himself was comical and saddening to watch. I will give this play a four for the only reason that i thought it was a very intresting and wonderful play to watch the only reason i will not give a five is beacuse i have never seen another version of the play and must do so so i can have a more educated view of it....
