Endgame, By Samuel Beckett

Synopsis: A performance of Samuel Beckett’s ‘Endgame’, a play in which nothing happens, once - unlike Beckett’s first play ‘Waiting for Godot’ in which nothing happens twice. It is not a play about chess, in any explicit sense, but it does feature a lovable if curmudgeonly old man in a dustbin. Features Norman Beaton (Hamm), Stephen Rea (Clov), Charlie Drake (Nagg) and Kate Binchy (Nell). This first full-length British television performance of the play was premiered in 1991.
