ABOUT
Samuel Beckett’s Endgame is a poetic exploration of the nature of the human condition. In this bleak universe, all is distilled down to the barest of essentials; the meaning conveyed in shimmering silences, the musicality of the speech and in the answering echoes of heartbreak and longing and loss.
