Endgame at Pleasance at EICC (Lomond Theatre)

Flabbergast Theatre, created and directed by artistic director Henry Maynard, brings their visceral ensemble-driven style to Samuel Beckett's Endgame at the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. In a dying world, four survivors cling to ritual, routine and one another as time slowly runs out, following the blind and domineering Hamm, his exhausted servant Clov, and Hamm's elderly parents Nagg and Nell, confined to dustbins. Raw physicality collides with Beckett's bleakly comic language in a stark, visually striking interpretation shaped by clowning, movement and an immersive physical soundscape. This marks Flabbergast's largest Edinburgh Fringe presentation to date, performing in the 375-seat Lomond venue for the full festival.
