Krapp’s Last Tape

Gaiety Theatre, Monday 21st October – Saturday 26th October

Landmark Productions is delighted to announce that, due to phenomenal demand, Stephen Rea returns in Samuel Beckett’s solo masterpiece, Krapp’s Last Tape, for one week only at the Gaiety Theatre this October.

Stephen Rea’s critically acclaimed performance captivated audiences and wowed critics during its sell-out run in Dublin earlier this year. If you missed the ‘triumph’ of Stephen Rea’s performance the first time around, this is your only chance to see it in Ireland this year!

In Beckett’s one-act play 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 years before.

Twelve years ago, Stephen Rea recorded the earlier tapes. He said:

“I had no certainty that one day I might play Krapp, but I thought it a good idea to pre-record the early tapes so that the voice quality would differ significantly from that of the older character, should the opportunity ever arise to use it.”

These are the tapes that are used in the current production.

Monday 21st October – Saturday 26th October
Time:
7.30pm (Matinee Saturday 2.30pm)
Price:
From €26.50
