Endgame Reviews
Time Out Chicago- Recommended
"...The production keeps the performances focused on Hamm's retreat into what is familiar and unchanging in the face of death, including his self-styled martyrdom. Clov is a slave who caters to Hamm's feelings, who justifies his pointless wants by responding to them. Lonergan's Hamm is irritatingly familiar for such a strange character. It's uncomfortable to confess you've experienced it: the old man who wants the world to settle before he dies, and stay comfortably the same so that all his stories remain relevant. While Vannon as Clove shows great physicality, his deliveries can often be stilted and awkward in a trap that Beckett's odd dialogue invites."
