San Francisco's critically acclaimed, cutting-edge Cutting Ball Theater continues its 2008 season with Samuel Beckett's Endgame. Rob Melrose, Cutting Ball's co-founding Artistic Director, directs this modern take on one of Beckett's most important works.

Starring David Sinaiko (Taming of the Shrew, Woyzeck, Macbeth, As You Like It), Avery Monsen (Taming of the Shrew), Paul Gerrior (As You Like It, Roberto Zucco), and Maureen Coyne (Risk is This), Endgame runs February 22 through March 16 at Traveling Jewish Theatre, 470 Florida St. (between 17th and Mariposa) in San Francisco. For tickets ($15-30) and more information, the public may visit cuttingball.com or call 800-838-3006.

With a uniquely San Franciscan bent (all of the action takes place in a run-down Victorian house), Cutting Ball's production of Endgame follows the attacks and parries of the world's last four remaining inhabitants, two of whom dwell in trash cans. A profound, introspective look at the game that man constantly plays and in which he is always checkmated, this absurdist masterpiece examines civilization as it is about to end, and explores what can happen when there are very few people left.

The performance runs February 22 - March 16, 2008, Thursday, Friday and Saturdays at 8pm; Sundays at 5pm at Traveling Jewish Theatre
470 Florida St. (between 17th and Mariposa) For tickets ($15-30) and more information, the public may visit cuttingball.com or call 800-838-3006.
