Editorial Reviews

Sunday Times (London)
"Samuel Beckett shows us a mystery outside the grasp of any other dramatist. The feleing Beckett expresses onthe stage is a note head nowhere else in contemporary drama... Endgame, so mournful, so distraught, is a magnificent theatrical experience."
The New Republic
"Beckett's language falls once again on its feet, like a cat."
New York Post
"It is his remarkable ability to mix beauty, imagination, vitality and wry humor that tranforms Beckett from a mere dispenser of meaninglyess gloom into a dramatic poet."

    Dark Comedy Masterpiece!

    This unique play depicts the hopelessness of a post-apocolyptic 'family', if you can even call them that. How Beckett can make a play about the end of the world and make it humorous..... I'll never understand! It definitely lives up to the 'theatre of the absurd' style that Beckett fore-fronted. A must read for any drama/english major.
