Written By:	Samuel Beckett

Synopsis:	Becket’s short play is a mime that takes place in a desert illuminated by a "dazzling light". The cast consists of just one man, who is thrown on stage at the start of the play and is thrown back at each attempt he tries to make an exit. The main action is of the man trying to reach a small carafe of water, which is always just out of reach, suspended from the flies of the theatre. After numerous attempts and a failed suicide, the man gives up and is left sitting on the ground.
