	Beckett - Music: Gyula Csapo's "Krapp's Last Tape -- after Samuel Beckett"
		This sensation further isolates Krapp's violin, adding an increased level of human fragility that might not be evident in performance, as if he is playing to a hollow machine rather than a human audience.
		Its title (recalling Samuel Beckett's one-act play, Krapp's Last Tape) is a point of reference which indicates the borrowing of a Beckettian scene (including an actor and a tape recorder used to replay/record the voice of his former/present self).
		The live sound of the violin, always muted (except in Krapp's last "waltz" -- 23'30''-24'): the sound is incapable of competing in loudness with that of the machine or with the fact that the tape recorder can produce a montage of time of any density.

		What is different here is that Krapp is less of a pawn, or fragment of an idea than the other characters, we are given access to his past, to his fundamental ambivalences (the desire for solitude and companionship), his apprehension of beauty.
		The play is also a comment on the nature of theatre going itself: in listening to his old tapes, Krapp becomes, as well as an actor, an audience, and in interpreting what he hears, a critic.
		Krapp's Last Tape is a humorous one act play involving a man named Krapp.

		His Krapp is both an anally retentive elder who has codified his memories but also someone who, as he brutally says, now sits shivering in the park "drowned in dreams and burning to be gone".
		Like Beckett, like Krapp, Hurt is no stranger to booze and disappointment, and the red-rimmed eyes that stare blankly out over the audience, as the 69-year-old Krapp listens to a recording of himself made 30 years earlier, suggest a world of pain and loss.
		On the tape, the 39-year-old Krapp bids a complacent farewell to romance while contemplating the great moment of spiritual enlightenment he has experiencd in the course of the past year.

		In this recording we hear that Krapp had been listening to a recording that he made 10 or 12 years earlier when he was in his late twenties.
		He reports that he had been living on and off with Bianca on kedar street at that time… Not much that he remembers about her except her eyes… they were warm… he pauses to think about her… and says that he is thankful that it is over.
		We hear a mention of a girl in a shabby green coat on a railway platform, which is probably the last time he sees her.

		Krapp's failures are underscored by the spools of recorded tapes he has painstakingly labeled and chronicled through the years.
		Bailey impressively communicates Krapp's rage, torment and sadness as he listens to a tape, recorded 30 years earlier, describing a moment on a boat with a girl "in a shabby green coat" when he could have made a decision that would have changed his life.
		In Krapp's Last Tape the elderly Krapp listens to a recording of himself, "the stupid bastard I took myself for 30 years ago," focusing on one segment when he recounts trying to make love in a boat.

	Krapp's Last Tape Summary & Essays - Samuel Beckett
		Like the speaker of Dylan’s song, the protagonist of Krapp’s Last Tape is also certain that he possesses the talent to change the world with his art but the focus of Beckett’s play is how Krapp’s certainty is worn down to a terrible moment of doubt and despair.
		Krapp ultimately realizes that nothing will ever be different and that his masterpiece has had no effect whatsoever in the world.
		The fact that Krapp wasted his life in pursuit of such a grandiose ‘‘vision’’ (as he calls it) marks the play as one of Beckett’s most ironic and chilling works.

	'Krapp's Last Tape' by Samuel Beckett. The complete text online - BradColbourne.com
		Krapp remains a moment motionless, heaves a great sigh, looks at his watch, fumbles in his pockets, takes out an envelope, puts it back, fumbles, takes out a small bunch of keys, raises it to his eyes, chooses a key, gets up and moves to front of table.
		He stoops, unlocks first drawer, peers into it, feels about inside it, takes out a reel of tape, peers at it, puts it back, locks drawer, unlocks second drawer peers into it, feels about inside it, takes out a large banana, peers at it, locks drawer, puts keys back in his pocket.
		He suddenly bends over machine, switches off, wrenches off tape, throws it away, puts on the other, winds it forward to the passage he wants, switches on, listens staring front.

	CANOE -- JAM! Theatre - Footfalls And Krapps Last Tape Review - A winning combo
		Of all the past century's playwrights, Beckett is perhaps the most demanding of his audience, placing his characters in bizarre circumstances and leaving it to the observer to figure out their past, present and, indeed, future.
		Last night, Beckett met the home team in a double header and gave a du Maurier World Stage audience a run for their money in an opening night at Harbourfront's Studio Theatre.
		In celebration of his 69th birthday, the lonely Krapp sits down to tape record his refelections, just as he apparently has done every year for the past 30, and finds himself reliving yet again the very real pain of lost love, finding that time, in some ways, has deepened that wound and not healed it.

		This project was a dream come true for me. Krapp's Last Tape is, I think, the greatest dramatic soliloquy of the last century and it was an honour to be able to direct it.
		I think there is a particular alchemy that is created when one films Krapp's Last Tape because the act of recording and fixing permanently an event is intrinsically linked not only to what Krapp is doing in the play, but also what I am doing as a director by filming John Hurt's exquisite performance.

		Local actor and artist Tony Ffitch gave what must be the performance of his life last week at Madcap as he took on the iconic monumental piece of Beckett, Krapp's Last Tape and won!
		Krapp records his memories on tape and the actions of the play, such as it is, involves him listening to recordings from 30 years earlier, easy to get very, very wrong, but Ffitch pitched this performance to perfection, measuring exactly each line, pause and reaction.
		It is a one-man performance, which explores loss, regret, bitterness, love and failure, all the jolly stuff.

	Krapp's Last Tape Summary
		The action of Krapp’s Last Tape occurs on ‘‘a late evening in the future’’ in the title character’s den.
		Every year since he was twentyfour, Krapp a would-be writer who has failed as such has recorded his impressions of the previous year and then catalogued the resulting tape’s number and contents in a ledger, which he keeps locked in his desk.
		The play depicts Krapp listening to a tape from thirty years ago (recorded when he was thirty-nine) and then recording this year’s tape.

		Nevertheless, whether Krapp is a singular tragic victim or a symbolic exemplar of all humanity remains unresolved.
		This is similar to other bipartite elements in Beckett, such as the interplay between present and past in Krapp’s Last Tape, the two acts of Happy Days, the circular motion from flout to flout seen in Play, and so on.
		There are clear analogues with the burial of Winnie and the decline of Krapp’s life and hopes (and indeed his memory of word definitions.) Consider also the strivings of the mime-artist in Act Without Words I, the weakening shrug in Not I and so forth.

		Krapps Last Tape is the title of a play written in 1958 by Samuel Beckett, in which a man reminisces on his 69th birthday, listening to a tape he made thirty years earlier.
		The play explores slippages between human memory and the historical record, a theme which Dorothy Cross has continued to address obliquely in her sculptural, installation and video work concerning women in Irish history.

		They serve as excellent examples of this liberating approach to theater that made "off-Broadway" plays important and inevitable.
		Samuel Beckett's Krapp is an old man, putting thoughts on tape with an old reel-to-reel recorder.
		Dishevelled, forgetful, and prone to dashes into the next room for a nip or three, he listens to a tape made by himself at half his age, snickering at the jaded naiveté of a youth pontificating on his youth now being behind him.
