Wait until the Beckett estate gets wind of this one. If you think Disney or DC/Marvel are litigation-Nazis you've never had to deal with old Sam's dead hand.

As for the piece itself, can't judge rest of the cast but I was surprised by Clov. He's been cast far too young but delivers a very nuanced performance; for a Lego-man.

It brings me back to when my son was young and I would borrow his legos to model stage sets and plan the blocking...sweet times.

Well, these guys came closer to Beckett's stage directions than Joanne Akalaitis, so maybe they'll be left off the hook by estate-police. Here's hoping they're left alone long enough to finish what they've started--the lego dogs are adorable.
