Dark Comedy Theme of Theatrix Double Feature Theatrix will present a double feature, Cold Journey in the Dark and Endgame at 8 p.m. The darkly comedic play features an encounter between Jesus and Judas in a church 2,000 years after the crucifixion. The two discuss life, what went wrong the last time they met, and how things have gone ever since. Endgame by Samuel Beckett, is directed by Nita Ritzke and will performed immediately following Cold Journey in the Dark. Beckett's view of a numb, irrational world reduces life to games and games to life.
Endgame is a condensed look at human relationships compressed by absurdity - explosive in result.
Tedium becomes a game, regret becomes performance. Philosophy is reduced to slapstick. The imaginary mingles with the bizarre reality of four characters trapped in the final game of human survival. Hendricks, an Arkansas native, received her Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics and chemistry from the University of Nebraska at age 20.
