Irish Repertory Theatre has announced that it will live stream the final four performances of its production of Samuel Beckett's Endgame. The Off-Broadway theatre has partnered with The League of Live Stream Theater to live stream performances April 14-16. The show was recently extended for a final time to April 16.
Tony nominee John Douglas Thompson stars as Hamm, blind and chair bound, living out the end days in a dingy room with his servant Clov and his parents (who live in trash cans). Tony winner Bill Irwin plays Clov, the only inhabitant capable of coming and going...yet he does not go. Joe Grifasi and Patrice Johnson Chevannes star as parents Nell and Nagg.
Previews began January 25 for the work, which plays the Francis J. Greenburger Mainstage. It opened February 2.
