Dragon is Golden @ Boston Court

A Winning Endgame

By Patrick Hurley

Filling the emptiness that accompanies the mundaneness of everyday life is a recurring theme throughout the work of Samuel Beckett.

Endgame, playing now at the Kirk Douglas Theatre, is a classic example of Beckett at his very best.
