"Endgame" (MTC)

Disappointing beginning to the 2015 theatre round. I've grown to love Beckett since my first exposure to him via a very different production of this very play some years back, but this take felt far too literal and straightforward, lacking in the essential spirit that animates his work or any particular interpretive twist (although Julie Forsyth as Nell was excellent - sweetly, suitably pathetic).
