Play Details

Synopsis

An unspecified bunker in an unspecified time 

“Endgame” is a one-act play that grapples with the impending end of the world, both literally and metaphorically. It puts characters in a tight space, forcing them to confront questions about life’s meaning as they sense the world crumbling around them.

Amidst this gloomy backdrop, “Endgame” dives into deep themes like death, decay, and the essence of being human. Surprisingly, it uses humor to shed light on the absurdity of our existence, making it a darkly comedic exploration of life when it feels like everything is falling apart.
