Originally written in French, then translated into English by the author himself, the play "End of the Game" draws a parallel between the final stage of a chess game, when the result is already known, and the last stages of life.

The play centers on four characters who live cloistered in a space outside of which nothing remains, as if after an apocalypse. Hamm, blind and helpless, is confined to a wheelchair; his servant or son, Clov, is in a state of perpetual agitation, in permanent conflict with Hamm, unable to calm down or go elsewhere, to free himself. Alongside the two, who remain together for incomprehensible reasons, Nagg and Nell, Hamm's parents, live their lives in garbage cans. Their only happiness is the memory of the past; dehumanized and dependent on Clov, they seem incapable of understanding the present outside of the suffering they are experiencing.

The cast includes the following actors: Șerban Borda, Petre Ghimbășan, Tiberiu Covaci and Mirela Niță Lupu. The set design is by Vioara Bara, and the image editing is by Șerban Carțiș.
