ENDGAME

by Samuel Beckett


Peckham's renaissance continues! After sculpture on a car park roof, and opera in the old cricket bat

factory - now, it's theatre of the absurd coming to The Bussey on Rye Lane.

Chris Haydon is directing a company of four local actors including Peter Benedict of Denman Road, Peckham

and Ricci Harnett of North Cross Road, in a production of Beckett's great play ENDGAME.

Ricci is returning to the stage after time in the movies, including 28 Days Later and Rise Of The

Footsoldier. Peter is a total man of theatre having produced, directed, written and acted. The other cast

members are Fiona Watson and Billy Colvill.

The three week run: Tuesday 25 June to Saturday 13 July.

Performances 8pm, Wednesday matinee at 2.30pm.

Tickets ?10/?8 concs with Mondays & matinees at ?5.

ENDGAME is one of the great plays of the 20th Century - a hymn to the vicissitudes of old age - a

post-apocalyptic reverie on man's nihilistic destiny - set inside a human skull it's an avant garde essay

on the nuclear family and care in the community - an exploration of the absurdity of life and the

nonsensical possibility of Love - an academic's heaven - a cautious, irascible, humourous and

human approach to Death ...

... to what extent humanity can survive in theatre of the absurd will be revealed.


ENDGAME is designed by Peter Avery of 1st Framework and Emma Kesterton.

    • Round 2 Fixtures Saturday Ireland v Italy 14:10 Scotland v England 16:40 Sunday Wales v France 15:10
    • Another positive recommendation for Jan and co from Silver Fern We had removed trees that were uprooting the brick pavement. Jan and co successfully removed the roots under the brick pavement and levelled the driveway off using the original bricks. Work done to a high standard and no mess no fuss with the work. Quote was excellent value and work done in under 2 days. Neighbours have booked him for some other work. Really nice guy and friendly workers throughout. Toilet and tea breaks provided by the residents here. Thanks Jan and co.
    • Rising damp though rare is a thing -  a few years back there was loads of companies that have all gone bust offering 30 year guarantees.  I was fooled it is true but my post was really about how such guarantees work not about the existence or not of rising damp
    • There's really no such thing as rising damp. Try as an experiment standing a brick upright in a pail of water and see how far the water actually rises through the brick and above the height of the water line. Why should gravity be overcome by a brick? Where are the capillaries in a brick to force the water upwards against gravity? Bricks aren't like kitchen towel.  Most damp is either condensation or water coming in from above, or from broken or leaking pipework. Or through failing window fittings. Damp can travel sideways of course, but very rarely upwards.
