Endgame by Samuel Beckett
“Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, I grant you that.”
Directed by Stan Wojewodski, Jr.
April 10 – May 8, 2010 at Undermain Theatre
Endgame is one of the greatest dramas of the modern age, blending the absurd vaudeville rhythms of Waiting for Godot with gallows humor as master and servant struggle for power in the last corner of the world. Endgame charts a day in the life of a group of decaying survivors in mysteriously hard times, the blind and chair-bound tyrant Hamm, his servant Clov, his parents Nagg and Nell who live in two trash bins and long for sugar-plums and Hamm’s sole possession, a toy dog with a missing leg.
