Endgame
Samuel Beckett’s play Endgame is not about Alzheimer’s or dementia, but it is about old age, illness, poverty, and dysfunctional family relationships. The scene consists of an empty room where a family of four people live. Hamm is blind and sits in a wheelchair. Nell and Nagg are Hamm’s elderly parents who are bedridden. Their “beds” consist of them sitting in separate garbage cans beside each other. Clov is Hamm’s adopted son.
