Written by Samuel Beckett
Starring David Westhead
Directed by Stockard Channing
Following a sold out run at the Edinburgh Festival 2026, where the show was the recipient of the 20th Century/Gold Festival Fringe Award, we are delighted to welcome back Krapp’s Last Tape by Samuel Beckett, starring David Westhead and directed by Stockard Channing.
Revel in Samuel Beckett’s classic play, as audiences are invited into Krapp’s world of solitude, memories, dreams, elation, and despair. Brought to life in disused function rooms, underground vaults, former jails, and dusty factories, we are transported to a land of joy, sadness, lost ambition, love, madness, and hope.
Krapp’s Last Tape is a journey through an old man’s life, filled with hilarious memories and hopes for the future, coupled with the mourning of lost love and unfulfilled ambition.
Post-show Q&A with a total running time 1 hour 20 mins
