Masterful storyteller Frank Galati makes sense of Beckett’s profound exploration of the most mysterious corners of the human mind. Swerving from the magnificent to the miniscule and from the profound to the profoundly ridiculous, a powerful all-ensemble cast brings to life this epic tale set in a tiny room.
Endgame is a compelling exploration of the stories we construct to make sense of our lives that will have you talking all night long.
