Endgame
30 May
Writer Samuel Beckett
Director Rosie Martin
A pinnacle of Beckett’s characteristic, raw minimalism, Endgame is a pure and devastating distillation of the human essence in the face of approaching death. Set in a barren, post-apocalyptic world, the play revolves around four characters: Hamm, a blind authoritarian confined to a wheelchair; Clov, their resentful servant who cannot sit down; and Nagg and Nell, Hamm’s elderly parents who reside in trash cans.
