Samuel Beckett's ENDGAME

Endgame imagines what might be the last living beings on earth, sheltering together at the end of everything and coping through routine and storytelling.

The play can seem bleak, but it holds unexpected humor and a tender reckoning with what makes life meaningful when meaning itself feels precarious
