Krapp's Last Tape

Krapp's Last Tape 1971 Directed by Alan Schneider

In 1971, Alan Schneider directed an historic video taped performance of Samuel Beckett's Krapps Last Tape, starring Jack MacGowran. The play dramatized an old man’s struggle to repossess his youth by searching through reels of audiotape. This performance was originally intended for television but never shown and subsequently put away and forgotten for nearly twenty years. The videotape has been restored and will remain a memorial to the late Jack MacGowran, Alan Schneider and William Ritman.
