Krapp's Last Tape by Samuel Beckett
VEGAS FRINGE FESTIVAL
On his 69th birthday, Krapp sits at a cluttered desk and listens to tape recordings he made decades earlier. To Krapp, the voice in the recorded diary is that of a naive and foolish stranger. Although he comments savagely on the young Krapp’s hope and idealism, he is drawn to the recorded voice of his younger, more hopeful self.
This semi-autobiographical piece from Samuel Beckett comments on the passage of time, the human condition and it’s evolving perspective, and regret.
