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.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
