Theatregoers in Maidenhead can experience Samuel Beckett’s one-man masterpiece Krapp’s Last Tape when a touring production visits Norden Farm Centre for the Arts next month.
The performance will be fresh from a run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Running for 50 minutes, the drama centres on Krapp at the age of 69 as he looks back over his life.
Alone with his thoughts, he listens to reel-to-reel tape recordings made during his younger days, confronting memories filled with humour, lost love, future ambitions, and personal regret as he revisits key moments that shaped his path.
The production is directed by Academy Award nominee Stockard Channing, known for her roles in Grease, The West Wing, and Six Degrees of Separation.
Channing brings her own directorial vision to Beckett’s drama, delving into Krapp’s isolated world.
The solo play stars David Westhead, whose screen credits include W1A, Strike, Star Wars, Enola Holmes, and The Bodyguard.
David is a veteran of both the Royal National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company.
The production arrives in Maidenhead having toured to eclectic and site-specific locations across the globe, staging performances in settings ranging from disused function rooms to underground vaults.
