The Catastrophic Theatre proudly presents Samuel Beckett’s ENDGAME.
“You’re on earth. There’s no cure for that.”
An apocalypse has engulfed the world outside. A single interior stands shelter to the blind tyrant Hamm, his weary attendant Clov, and Hamm’s parents Nagg and Nell. As in the chess metaphor from which the play derives its title, Hamm and Clov carry out a series of repetitive routines, day after punishing day, senselessly moving pieces around the board of a game whose outcome is predetermined.
Nobody does tragicomedy like Samuel Beckett. A central line from the play, “Nothing is funnier than unhappiness,” practically defines the genre.
The 30th anniversary production stars
Greg Dean, Luis Galindo, Jeff Miller, and Julia Oppenheim.
Directed by Jason Nodler
