Endgame
❮back
Beckett's stage directions are precise and practically unalterable. My design intention was to defend the characters' dignity against the general absurdity.
Hamm and Clov are an odd couple, trapped in the dust of some unnamed planetary disaster. I dressed Hamm in a stiffened, weathered kimono, once ornate with its appliqués of tropical flower shapes and dynamic slashing. Clov is a butler trying to preserve his elegance in a suit that disintegrates faster than he can repair it.
