The End

By Samuel Beckett

17 February 2011 – 11 March 2011 Beckett Theatre

Malthouse Theatre, Belvoir,

Classic Theatre Co-Production

A lonely soul is ejected from the comfort of an asylum, so he spends his days wandering and waiting for some kind of conclusion to his existence. His life has failed, he's beyond loneliness and destitution, he ekes out the final small pleasures of living until there is nothing left but to drift away.

 

"..MENZIES SQUEEZES EVERY DROP OF JUICE FROM THE PROSE. EVERY LINE IS A SURPRISE AND HE ZOOMS IN UNERRINGLY ON BECKETT'S PUNCH LINES."

— Sydney Morning Herald
