Krapp's Last Tape

Work:: Krapp's Last Tape (S3872)

Krapp's Last Tape is one of the most openly autobiographical of Beckett's writings, where he once again confronts himself but without the searing, wrenching pain and exhaustion of previous works. The play, tinged with sadness and at times overwhelmingly emotional is a poignant reflection of Beckett himself. We meet Krapp, a man in his late sixties. Every year, on his birthday, Krapp records a new tape - a review of the year just gone. But on this occasion - his 69th birthday - he listens back to a tape he recorded three decades before.
