EDINBURGH FESTIVAL
We are presenting Samuel Beckett's classic play 'Krapp's Last Tape' at Fringe 2025. The piece is thought to be Beckett at his most autobiographical. Krapp reflects on his failed love-life, his heavy drinking and where things might have gone wrong. His appetite for bananas is nevertheless still ever present. This haunting humorous piece will live on in the mind beyond its enactment.
Below is a little more information.

THE TAPE
Samuel Beckett's unique take on life is performed by award-winning Fringe veteran Kevin Short. The protagonist, Krapp, revisits his younger self via audio tapes he has recorded over the years. The younger Krapp was full of hope and idealism. The older Krapp is full of woe and torment.
