 "My best friend hanged himself when I was thirteen years old. The following year I discovered Samuel Beckett. What else should I have to say about it?"  -- Jason Nodler

The Catastrophic Theatre proudly presents the timeless avant-garde classic:

ENDGAME by Samuel Beckett

Catastrophic’s production of the very funny and terribly unhappy “Endgame” is another masterpiece in the company’s ever-mounting stack of successes.

Nancy says: "'You're on earth, there's no cure for that,' Hamm says to to Clov. Beckett is back thanks to those wonky word geeks over at Catastrophic Theatre with their uber tight production of Endgame, starring Greg Dean as Hamm, Troy Schulze as Clov, Joel Orr as Nagg and Mikelle Johnson as Nell. Directed by Jason Nodler, Endgame's title says it all. If you love language, wordplay, divine banter and humor with a falling off a cliff edge, this is a play for you.

No one in Houston creates this multilayered, nonlinear type of theatre better than The Catastrophic Theatre.

I think it helps that Catastrophic’s Artistic Director Jason Nodler, who directs here, is a goddamn genius by every definition of the word.Only a genius can take the complexly simple Endgame and make it sing, dance, and soar to new heights, exploding into so many pieces simultaneously, satisfactorily, and splendidly that we marvel at its many magnificent manifestations.

Catastrophic Theatre’s stark, unflinching production of Samuel Beckett’s Endgame demonstrates exactly why this company and its artistic director Jason Nodler are so important to the city’s cultural life.

If man's wretched existence ever needed a finer hand to paint comic despair, look no further than director Jason Nodler with his quartet of superlative interpreters all in the service of the apocalyptic vision from Samuel Beckett.
