Krapp's Last Tape by Samuel Beckett

Bringing her unique directorial vision to this production, Academy Award nominee Stockard Channing (Grease, The West Wing, Six Degrees of Separation) explores the intricate layers of Beckett?s masterpiece and Krapp?s solitary world. Starring David Westhead (W1A, Strike, Star Wars, Enola Holmes, The Bodyguard), a veteran of The Royal National Theatre and Royal Shakespeare Company, this 50-minute theatrical experience delves into the life of Krapp who, at the age of 69, looks back over his life and tries to make sense of it through listening to tape recordings he made as a younger man, recordings which diarise the daily events of his life.The Birmingham Press has described Channing?s production as ?a complete stunner ? everything comes down to the acting and, in the case of Krapp?s Last Tape, to the ability of one man to hold the stage. Westhead, intense and compelling, and returning to the theatre after several years of absence, looked as if he had never been away.?You are invited to stay for an optional Q&A session following the performance, offering deeper insights into Beckett?s timeless work.The production has toured globally to eclectic, site-specific venues, from disused function rooms to underground vaults, affording an intimate and powerful theatrical experience.
