Endgame

Stage and screen stars Mathew Horne and Selina Cadell return to Bath in this new production of Samuel Beckett’s macabre comedy.

In a bare room, Hamm, an old, blind tyrant, is locked in a stalemate with his servant Clov. Interrupted by the nostalgic musings of Hamm’s ancient, dustbin-dwelling parents, Hamm and Clov do their best ignore the older pair, and cling stubbornly to their comic routine of casual savagery and mutual dependence.

Widely recognised as one of the most important writers of the 20th century, Samuel Beckett’s plays, novels and poetry are regarded as the pinnacle of black comedy and tragicomic life.

Star of BBC's BAFTA winning Gavin & Stacey, Mathew Horne's (Death in Paradise, Bad Education) stage credits include The Homecoming, Rain Man, Charley's Aunt, Noises Off and The Tempest.

Selina Cadell is currently starring in the West End transfer of the Ustinov's highly acclaimed The Deep Blue Sea, alongside Tamsin Greig. Her stellar screen career includes roles in much-loved drama Doc Martin and The Madness of King George.

Director Lindsay Posner, one of the Uk's most sought after directors, returns to the Ustinov fresh from the West End transfers of Noises Off, A View From The Bridge and The Deep Blue Sea.
