Krapp’s Last Tape (Again)

Perhaps my best years are gone
Still, I have theatre and Beckett, the master, to warm my soul
But not for me the interminable Waiting
A play where literally nothing happens
"Nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it’s awful!"
Couldn’t put it better myself, Estragon
No, Sam’s masterpiece is Krapp
Or perhaps Eh Joe
That one’s mind blowing
No, Krapp’s Last Tape is my favourite
A powerful reflection on our inability to reconcile with our past selves, a reminder that life is no dress rehearsal
Seen it four times now
Twice this year
A play where literally everything happens
And a smattering of fruit
"Perhaps my best years are gone
When there was a chance of happiness
But I wouldn’t want them back
Not with the fire in me now
No, I wouldn’t want them back"
Fade to blackout

Krapp’s Last Tape, Greenside @ George Street until 9th August
