Krapp’s Last Tape by Samuel Beckett

Coming soon to the Queen Mother Theatre in Hitchin - the classic play Krapp's Last Tape by Samuel Beckett. 

Krapp lives a lonely and shabby existence in a darkened room. At year's end, he takes out a bottle of wine, a banana and his tape recorder, and he listens as his own voice from the past recounts the glories and hopes of his youth….

Often thought of as Samuel Beckett's masterpiece, this is without a doubt the most influential dramatic monologue of the 20th century. Premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in 1958, it was wildly ahead of its time in its observations of how recording technology could affect human memory.

Both funny and tragic, Krapp's Last Tape is not to be missed.
