Fin de partie (Endgame), by Samuel Beckett
The play Fin de partie (Endgame) by Samuel Beckett was first produced in Paris, France, in 1957. The central character, Hamm, (shown here), cannot see or walk. Throughout the play, he and his servant Clov seek and await an ending that may be of the world, of the day, of Hamm’s life, or simply of the play itself.
