Synopsis
'Go and get two bicycle-wheels.'
'There are no more bicycle-wheels.'
'What have you done with your bicycle?'
'I never had a bicycle.'
Nothing stirs outside.
In a bare room, Hamm, an old, blind tyrant, is locked in a stalemate with his servant Clov.
Interrupted only by the nostalgic musings of Hamm's ancient, dustbin-dwelling parents, this bleakly funny double act cling stubbornly to their routine of casual savagery and mutual dependence.
Background, advisory warnings

Note: the Old Vic decided on 15 March to end suspend the presentation of this show for the two weeks up to its close date.
