WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Irish Repertory Theatre presents Samuel Beckett's Endgame, directed by Charlotte Moore. Written in a macabre intensity of mood, it represents the playwright's fierce declaration of oblivion in a world populated with its last survivors.

The production stars two time Tony Nominee, Tony Roberts, along with Alvin Epstein, Adam Heller, and Kathryn Grody.
