In their 50th anniversary year, the celebrated Irish theatre company Druid return to New York with a masterpiece from the Irish theatrical canon. Irish Arts Center is thrilled to present their production of Samuel Beckett's Endgame in our fall 2025 season.

Endgame is the tragicomic tale of a man living with his parents and his servant in a world beyond time and place. With nowhere to go and not much to do, they spend their days telling stories and contemplating the absurdity of life. 

Directed by Tony Award-winner Garry Hynes, this new production stars Druid actors including Tony Award winner Marie Mullen, Bosco Hogan, Aaron Monaghan, and Rory Nolan.
