Peter Mair
Catherine Totty

Off-West End Beckett Revival

Bright Blue Productions are to revive Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape in the John Gielgud Theatre at RADA during April.

In Beckett's 1958 play, an old man reviews his life and assesses his predicament. We learn about him not from the 69-year-old man on stage, but from his 39-year-old self on the tape he chooses to listen to. On the "awful occasion" of his birthday, Krapp was then and is now in the habit of reviewing the past year and "separating the grain from the husks". He isolates memories of value, fertility and nourishment to set against creeping death "when all my dust has settled".

The play will be performed by Peter Mair and directed by Catherine Totty.
