Show details

Synopsis


'Go and get two bicycle-wheels.'

'There are no more bicycle-wheels.'

'What have you done with your bicycle?'

'I never had a bicycle.'


Nothing stirs outside.


In a bare room, Hamm, an old, blind tyrant, is locked in a stalemate with his servant Clov.


Interrupted only by the nostalgic musings of Hamm's ancient, dustbin-dwelling parents, this bleakly funny double act cling stubbornly to their routine of casual savagery and mutual dependence.


Background, advisory warnings


Age suitability: 14+


Richard Jones (The Hairy Ape, Into the Woods) directs Beckett's macabre comedy in which hope and cruelty are the last things to die.


Endgame will be presented in a double bill with Samuel Beckett's rarely seen short play Rough for Theatre II, performed by members of the company.


Note: the Old Vic decided on 15 March to end suspend the presentation of this show for the two weeks up to its close date.
