Description Hugo Weaving returns to Sydney Theatre Company in Samuel Beckett’s modern masterpiece, which takes the end of the world so seriously it makes us laugh.

Hamm is a blind tyrant, unable to stand. Clov is his son, unable to sit. Hamm’s parents, Nell and Nagg, are living in bins.

Sheltering in an underground room, Hamm orders Clov about. Clov looks out the window for signs of life, but all seems lost and there is no one there. Inside, the characters pass the time, brutally toying with each other in the way only family can. These four people, perhaps the last, are playing out the game of life
