No-Strings Theatre Company presents Endgame

No Strings Theatre’s final production of the season is Samuel Beckett’s ENDGAME directed by guest director Bobbi Masters. The production opens Friday, June 13 at 8 pm and runs through Sunday, June 29 at 2:30 pm at the Black Box Theatre, 430 N Main Street in Las Cruces.

Bobbi Masters is approaching her production of ENDGAME as a ghostly vaudeville set in a post-apocalyptic purgatory. Through elements of clowning and faded relics of lives post-lived, she imagines the piece as a tragicomic séance- a summoning of laughter from the ashes of meaning. Like his other works, it's both philosophical and very funny.

According to Beckett scholar, Ruby Cohn, ENDGAME was Beckett's favorite play, and he chose this play to be the first play that he directed.

The play, Fin de Partie, was written 1952, as a work in progress, but not completed until 1956.

Endgame performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 pm, Sunday matinees on June 22 and June 29 at 2:30 pm, and a Thursday evening performance at 7:00 pm.

Tickets are $18.00 regular admission, $15.00 students and seniors over 65, and all seats on Thursday are $12.00.
