By Samuel Beckett, Starring Stephen Rea
Stephen Rea (The Crying Game, V for Vendetta) stars in one of Samuel Beckett’s greatest dramatic achievements, Krapp’s Last Tape, a theatrical masterpiece that resonates with audiences across generations.
The work’s introspective narrative and sharp wit offer a compelling reflection on our own journeys of self-discovery and the inevitable march of time.
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.
As much a meditation on loneliness and the extraordinary tricks that memory plays, as a lament for squandered potential and lost love, Stephen Rea’s critically lauded performance has utterly captivated audiences during its sell-out runs in Ireland this year.
Don’t miss this one-man tour de force.
