Beckett in Brief

Among Samuel Beckett’s most autobiographical works, Rough for Radio II, The Old Tune, and Krapp’s Last Tape explore universal questions of creativity, memory, aging, sex, friendship, and the proximity of death. These plays from the middle of his career are traditionally viewed as individual statements, but the three provide a wealth of impressions when placed in conversation with one another, giving audience members a better understanding of the legendary playwright’s intellect, passion, and temperament.
