WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Krapp, 39 is a voyeuristic prefiguring of Samuel Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape, and a deeply personal window on one man's last moment of youth. Reeling on his 39th birthday, an actor's obsessive identification with Beckett's famous character compels him to examine his own quixotic life and failures. His hilarious and heart breaking self-scrutiny plays out through intimate audio tapes, archival video, raw journal entries, haunted letters, racy confessions, and recorded conversations with the living and the lost. The show is written and performed by Michael Laurence, and directed by George Demas.
All 39-year-olds are invited to attend Krapp, 39 FREE OF CHARGE (I.D. required at Box Office.)

Birthdays are a time when people reflect on what they have and haven't achieved, a fact that's reinforced by Michael Laurence's often fascinating solo show Krapp, 39, now at the SoHo Playhouse, in which the actor-author riffs on Samuel Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape, in which an elderly man on his 69th birthday sits at a desk and reflects on a tape-recording he made 30 years ago to the day. In this multimedia piece, first seen at last year's New York International Fringe Festival, Laurence imagines creating a tape similar to the one Krapp made on the event of his own 39th birthday. After creating his own archival recording, Laurence imagines that he will also seal it away and then perform it i[...]
