Brian Shaw

Columbia College Chicago Theatre Department alumnus and teacher Brian Shaw was singled out for his performance in The Hypocrites‘ acclaimed new production of Samuel Beckett’s absurdist classic Endgame in Time Out Chicago’s review of the production. “The Hypocrites deliver an intriguing Beckett in a box,” the review began. Critic Kris Vire continued: “Director Halena Kays . . . and her cast favor a more clowning interpretation of Beckett’s text, with the indispensable Brian Shaw (somehow just now making his Hypocrites debut) allowing the servant Clov’s physical quirks to underline his absurdly tragic entrapment.”
