alright, so a couple people around me flashed me dirty looks when i laughed at
a wheelchair being pulled out from under a character, so what?
i thought this piece was brillant, beckett is hysterical and they brought that to life, through movement and sparse use of text.
i loved the pathos brought forward by the mometary use of lack of movement, and how they played lines against facial expressions and gestures
very multi-layered and all the more disturbing for it.
wish i had seen it earlier, so i could have sent people.

This piece captures the essence of Beckett through, what I think is, visual poetry. Culling images and metaphors from Beckett's four plays, Beckett's Last Dance creates a world resonant with nostalgia for the past viewed from the relentless routine of today; the mirroring of Estragon and Vladimir refracting each other's vulnerabilities; the precarious and proud struggles of the disabled; the poignance of dancing Nell and Nagg, free at last from their confining boxes. Whittle understands the potential of economy. He powerfully uses silence and stillness to explore the negative spaces in Beckett without ever losing the sparkling wit, so central in these plays. Certainly the best rendition of Waiting for Godot I have seen, this piece will also make you wonder if Beckett's speech simply winds around you like so much of Krapp's tape. What does Beckett, stripped of the tedium of his speech look like? Go see Beckett's Last Dance!

3+1/2 stars, actually. One of Beckett's major themes is immobility, so it was interesting to see movement pieces based upon his works. Very good ideas, excellent imagination. Only one weakness but a pretty big one: all pieces sagged in the middle and should have been shorter. But the dancers were exceptional and make the show worth seeing.

Some great ideas unevenly executed...deadly dull Krapp open gambit with banal banana bit...tape frenzy could be reeling...marvelous Maia Scott anchors action as rest of troupe have flashes of brilliance...certainly worth seeing... hope Beckett will dance again ...in a leaner re-vamp.

Excellent. You do not have to be a fan of dance or movement to be completely swept away into the world of this show. There is humor, sadness and truly stunning moments of human endurance. The cast are incredible artists and very generous with their bodies, juxtaposing beautiful grace with jarring eruptions. It is rare that a show can so captivate and disturb simultaneously. A must see.
