ENDGAME

ABOUT

Samuel Beckett's Endgame is one of the great existential works. The play is set in a bunker in an apocalyptic world, occupied by four characters Hamm, Clov, Nagg and Nell. Through the process of trying to tell a story, Hamm, the blind and disabled tyrant and protagonist, takes the audience on a journey of quirky and absurd dialogue with his servant Clov. Hamm's parents, Nagg and Nell, are confined to ashbins, Hamm is confined to his chair, and Clov cannot rest.

Performed by matric learners at Michaelhouse, Endgame will offer a wonderfully entertaining ponder at the state of the world we live in from the voices of teenagers full of hope, and from a prophetic writer who helped shaped our existential thoughts through plays like Waiting for Godot.
