Televised performance of Samuel Beckett’s Endgame shows the bleak drama where “nothing happens once,” unlike Godot’s “nothing happens twice.” Though not about chess, it features a curmudgeonly old man in a dustbin. Regarded as Beckett’s darkest work, he called it his favourite. Recorded in 1989 with his blessing, it aired in 1991 as the first full‑length TV version.
