Akalaitis prdn of Endgame query

[David Akin]

Reading Charles R. Lyons 1993 review of Brustein's "Reimagining American
Theatre", I came across a reference made by Lyons to "the now-famous
controversy over the Jo-Anne Akalaitis production of Beckett's  Endgame..."
 
Not being a member of the American academy and - some would say even worse -
not being close enough to New York City to learn about such "now-famous"
controversies, could someone on the list enlighten me as to the substance of
this controversy.
 
Thanks for the help.
