Krapp's Last Tape

The decrepit , drunk and solitary Krapp sits in his den on his 69th birthday waiting to record the events of his year on his tape recorder, a ritual he performs every year. He checks his watch for the precise time of his birth and while waiting he listens to an old tape of his thirty nine year old self.

What he hears is an arrogant young man, full of his own self importance, recall a year when his mother died and the year he had his vision of how his greatness as a writer could be achieved. He also recalls in that year how he rejected love with “the girl in the punt”.

Beckett´s favourite and most personal play with it´s depiction of  loss and regret is an incredible piece of theatre. A modern classic that pushed the boundries of what could be achieved in theatre.

Born in Belfast, Vincent Fegan  has played many of the classic roles in theatre, most recently McCann in THE BIRTHDAY PARTY by Harold Pinter, Frank Hardy in FAITH HEALER by Brian Friel and Davies in THE CARETAKER by Harold Pinter. He has also appeared in numerous feature films and television in Ireland.
