The dying Nell, in "Endgame," utters these words.
Beckett's bleak 1957 masterwork, rarely seen, was staged this spring in London's West End, at the Albery Theatre.
It starred Sir Michael Gambon as the blind, bullying, immobile Hamm and Lee Evans as his malformed, shambling, idiotic and antic sidekick Clov, trapped in a strange room.
Liz Smith and Geoffrey Hutchings played Hamm's parents, Nell and Nagg, who live in a pair of dustbins.
The play received magnificent reviews.
