Today's idea - Samuel Beckett's Endgame at @nvt_brighton #brightonfringe



Earlier this year Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen went around the country performing the sold out Waiting for Godot. Today another brilliant play by Samuel Beckett, the author behind 'Play' (which if you haven't seen I recommend ewatching the short film version starring starring Alan Rickman, Kristen Scott Thomas and Juliet Stevenson. it's very good.) comes to Brighton with "Endgame' as part of the Brighton Fringe.

"Hamm, blind and chair-bound, is attended to by the stiff and dutiful Clov. Hamm's parents, Nagg & Nell, legless from a bicycle accident, are relegated to living in dustbins, not even able to reach each other to kiss. Someone has fleas and a rogue rat is on the loose. Outside, all seems dead and 'something is taking its course', whilst inside, the four protagonists torment each other with apocalyptic visions of what may be occurring beyond the confines of their self inflicted prison."


Running until 22 May.
Time: 7:45pm
Cost: £9 (£8 members)
More Info: here

If nothing, watch Play. It's very good.
