Endgame, one of Samuel Beckett’s greatest works, was performed in the Duchess Theatre in London’s West End.

Complicité’s production took this fading glamour as the perfect environment for the four characters to stumble and mutter through this tragicomic masterpiece.

A Complicité co-production with Nimax Theatres.

“A brilliant Complicité production of Endgame. Simon McBurney …is the greatest theatre-maker of his generation; Mark Rylance is the greatest actor…Now they are together on stage at last.” The Independent

“A pure delight” The Telegraph

“Sheer pleasure” The Times

“Dazzling” The Observer
