Endgame

“Endgame”, Samuel Beckett’s dystopian play is a deconstruction of society that puts mankind at the edge existence. Three characters find themselves trapped in a network of bunkers hidden deep underground following a catastrophic event that has rendered the surface of the earth inhabitable. Humans are afflicted by a disease that robs them of their memories as they are controlled by a Machine that runs their lives. Among the few survivors there is only one man, a blind cripple who posseses the treasure of memory, but the weight of this is literally killing him and driving those around him mad.
