This week, journalist and co-founder of the Pittsburgh Institute for Nonprofit Journalism, Jody DiPerna (@JodyDiPerna) is here to discuss my favorite play by one of my favorite writers, ENDGAME by Samuel Beckett.

SUMMARY:

We are in a singular room with four characters: Hamm, who is blind and in a wheeled chair; Clov, his servant who cannot sit down; Nagg, a man in an ash bin and Hamm's father; and Nell, Nagg's wife who is also in a trash bin. They discuss that there is no other life on earth beyond the room. At some point, Nell dies. That's it. That's the whole play.
