Endgame and Act Without Words

Samuel Beckett, winner of the 1969 Nobel Prize in Literature, considered Endgame one of his finest works, and many critics agree. Originally written in French and translated into English by Beckett himself, this one-act play confines four characters to a bare room at what may be the end of the world: the blind, chair-bound Hamm, his servant Clov, and Hamm's parents, Nagg and Nell, who live in dustbins. Bleak, darkly funny and strangely tender, it is a landmark of twentieth-century theatre and a pinnacle of Beckett's spare, minimalist style. This Grove Press edition also includes Act Without Words, a short mime for one player. Essential reading for students of drama and anyone interested in modern theatre.
