I once saw "Krapp's Last Tape" performed in a small, insignificant regional theater by a small, unknown journeyman actor, and it was one of the most moving and exhilarating experiences I’ve ever had as a theatergoer. For me, this is Beckett’s best work. The usual irony and gallows humor are there, but there is also a towering lyricism that sets it apart for me from the rest of the Beckett I’m familiar with. A painfully human work, with tragic echoes.
