In an unidentified, timeless interior space, Hamm, blind and paralyzed from the waist down, rules and reminisces with his servant Clov, who is unable to sit. Hamm’s senile parents, Nell and Nagg, occupy the same space, living in trashcans so that the audience sees them only from the torso up. Clov tends to Hamm and his aged parents, and all cling to life in a hopeless world nearing its end.
