Endgame & Act Without Words is a brilliant work by Samuel Beckett, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969. This play is a pinnacle of Beckett's characteristic raw minimalism, offering a pure and devastating distillation of the human essence in the face of approaching death.

Originally written in French and translated into English by Beckett himself, Endgame is considered by many critics to be his greatest single work. Four characters engage in a game of life, concluding with the exit of one character and the immobility of the remaining three, in a profound study of man's relationship to his fellows.
