Samuel Beckett’s absurd comic masterpiece follows Hamm, a blind man unable to stand, and his servant Clov, who is unable to sit. Pestered by his parents, Hamm directs this unusual family through their daily rituals, awaiting the end of everything. Swerving from the magnificent to the minuscule and from the profound to the profoundly ridiculous, a powerful all-ensemble cast brings to life this epic tale.
We are in the middle of another exciting distribution campaign for Steppenwolf, and are looking forward to seeing Endgame. Now is your chance to see one of Beckett’s greatest works. Check out Steppenwolf’s website to find out how to get tickets!
Endgame is at the Steppenwolf Theatre through June 6th. Please visit www.steppenwolf.org for more information.
