Summary

Tony winner Alan Cumming and Daniel Radcliffe star in Samuel Beckett’s Endgame, which opened February 4 at The Old Vic. The play is part of a double-bill, along with Beckett’s short work Rough for Theatre II. Directed by Richard Jones (The Hairy Ape), Endgame is set in a bare room, where an old, blind tyrant named Hamm, played by Cumming (Cabaret, Daddy), is locked in a stalemate with his servant Clov, played by Radcliffe (Lifespan of a Fact, Equus). Interrupted only by the nostalgic musings of Hamm’s ancient, dustbin-dwelling parents, this double act cling stubbornly to their routine of casual savagery and mutual dependence.
