Straight from Dublin’s acclaimed Gate Theatre, enjoy an exciting adaptation starring the world’s leading Samuel Beckett interpreter, Barry McGovern. Endgame tells the amusing tale about the aged and blind Hamm and his servant Clov, co-existing in a mutually dependent and fractious relationship, with only Hamm’s legless parents for company. Hailed as one of Beckett’s most important works and written in the style associated with the Theatre of the Absurd, the play focuses on the themes of repetition, time, isolation and existence.
