"ENDGAME"

By Samuel Beckett

ENSEMBLE STREET PLAYERS

Radical Theater Week

University of Washington, Seattle, September, 1969

 

 

 

From “The Memoirs, Chapter Three” -

 

 

 

            For heavy drama, I decided to portray the blind Hamm in Becket’s “Endgame,” thinking I could at least imitate Steve Knox’ great performance I had seen in Portland the year before.  Bob Gallaher played Hamm’s servant, Shep.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

            Russell and Peggy played Hamm's old parents, sitting in cardboard trash bins, waiting to die.
