Krapp's Last Tape: Theatrical Notebooks

Bag om Krapp's Last Tape: Theatrical Notebooks

"The publication of Samuel Beckett’s Theatrical Notebooks . . . is a major event which casts fascinating light on the thought processes of a great writer.”—Review of English StudiesFrom the mid-1960s, Samuel Beckett himself directed all his major plays in Berlin, Paris, or London. For most of these productions he meticulously prepared notebooks for his personal use.The theatrical notebooks of Beckett that are reproduced in facsimile here are translated and annotated and thus offer a remarkable record of his own involvement with the staging of his texts. They present his solutions to practical problems but also provide a unique insight into the ways he envisaged his plays. With additional information taken from Beckett’s own annotated and corrected copies, the editors have been able to constitute a new revised text for each of the major plays.Beckett directed Krapp’s Last Tape on four separate occasions: this volume offers a facsimile of his 1969 Schiller Theater notebook, which contains some of the most explicit analysis by the playwright of his own work ever revealed. The revised text incorporates many of the changes he made in the 1969 Schiller production, as well as subsequent changes in later productions. It reveals a flexibility and openness of approach often considered alien to Beckett’s ways of working in the theatre.
