Gary Oldman announces his long-awaited return to the stage in Beckett classic
The Slow Horses star will perform the monologue Krapp’s Last Tape at York Theatre Royal in the spring
The Oscar winner, who is currently back on TV screens in Slow Horses, will perform Samuel Beckett’s monologue Krapp’s Last Tape at York Theatre Royal next spring. First performed by Patrick Magee in 1958, Beckett’s play concerns a melancholic 69-year-old man who replays recordings he made decades earlier in life and reflects on lost love in between bites of his beloved bananas.
