A character looking thirty years into the past... An actor looking thirty years into the future... meet in Krapp, 39, a voyeuristic prefiguring of Samuel Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape, and a deeply personal window on one man's last moment of youth. Reeling on his 39th birthday, an actor's obsessive identification with Beckett's famous character compels him to examine his own quixotic life: His fears, his failures, and his search for (and forfeiture of) love, all in preparation to record a version of the 39-year-old Krapp's soliloquy to be used in an imagined production of Krapp's Last Tape in the year 2038. His hilarious and heart-breaking self-scrutiny plays out through intimate audio tapes, archival video, raw journal entries, haunted letters, racy confessions, and recorded conversations with the living and the lost.| 22 Nov 10 to 22 Dec 10 | The Seven Dials Playhouse Inner London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
