Krapp's Last Tape by Samuel Beckett
KRAPP’S LAST TAPE by Samuel Beckett ‘Krapp’s Last Tape is Beckett at his finest’ - The Irish Times.
John Hurt returns to the Gate in Beckett’s classic one-man show, Krapp’s Last Tape, for 10 performances only.
Each year on his birthday, self-absorbed Krapp records the important, and the banal, moments of the last year. As he prepares to record a new tape on his 69th birthday, he begins to listen to his archives and stumbles upon a tender memory that he recorded half a lifetime ago. This immersion in his own history leads Krapp to question with growing regret whether his present lives up to his past.
Director Michael Colgan
The performance runs for approximately 55 minutes
