Reviews are in for The Old Vic’s production of Samuel Beckett’s Endgame, starring Tony winner Alan Cumming and Daniel Radcliffe. The production opened February 4 and is scheduled to run through March 28.
Directed by Richard Jones, Endgame follows the battle of wits between a blind tyrant named Hamm, played by Cumming (Cabaret, Off-Broadway's "Daddy"), and his servant Clov, played by Radcliffe (Harry Potter, The Lifespan of a Fact).
The play is a double-bill along with Beckett’s short work Rough for Theatre II, which follows two men as they discuss the fate of another man in the room, who never speaks. Joining the two in the theatrical short is Jackson Milner.
