Reflections on Krapp’s Last Tape
This event has passed.
An elderly man wakes up each night, looks out of his window, before lighting a lamp and staring at a blank wall. He reflects on his life: his birth and death, and what may lie beyond.
Relish the power and expression of the solo voice from the stage of the Courtyard Theatre as live performance finally returns. An actor, a musician and four chorus members collaborate, filling the auditorium with words and music that reflect upon the themes of love, life and loss.
Featuring performances of traditional folk song from Scottish folk musician Alasdair Roberts, inspired by Samuel Beckett’s extraordinary monologue, Krapp’s Last Tape. This experience can be enjoyed either alongside the original piece or independently.
Reflections on Krapp’s Last Tape is part of Connecting Voices, a collaboration between Leeds Playhouse and Opera North bringing together a collection of new and classic work celebrating the power of the human voice. You can enjoy one event or book for all six, tickets will be limited and information will be shared with bookers about changes we have implemented to make the theatre experience safe according to government advice and Covid-19 guidelines.
