The play was written in 1983 initially in French as QUOI OÙ and translated by Samuel Beckett himself. In WHAT WHERE, four characters appear at intervals, all dressed in the same long grey gown with the same long grey hair. Bam controls and interrogates the others, sending them off “to confess” to an unnamed crime. A seasonal cycle from spring to winter passes in the course of the play, with Bam repeating the same questions and actions.
