In a closed space, Hamm, Clov and Hamm’s parents await the end. Humour, anguish and laughing in this drastic comedy of Beckett from the hand of one of today’s greatest directors with the splendid actor José Luis Gómez, founder and director of the Teatro de La Abadía, at the main character.

“We are obliged to rip off as many bursts of laughter as possible with this atrocious thing.” (Samuel Beckett)
"It’s as if Beckett had grabbed us by the scruff of our necks and dragged us to the rubbish dump in which his lucidity is submerged." (Juan Cruz, El País)
"Gómez allows his character no time to even catch his breath or, if you prefer, it is Hamm who does not allow him to breathe." (Javier Villán, El Mundo)
"A production that is concentrated, intense, asphyxiating, that makes us uneasy, set in a kind of bunker in the shape of an old garage." (Juan Ignacio García Garzón, ABC)
