About This Event

Assembly Roxy in Edinburgh will host Samuel Beckett's seminal work, Krapp's Last Tape, on Wednesday 5 August 2026. This compelling production, helmed by Academy Award nominee Stockard Channing, features a captivating performance from David Westhead as the titular character. The play offers a profound exploration of solitude, the unreliable nature of memory, and the universal complexities of the human condition. Audiences are invited to step into the deeply introspective world of Krapp, a man confronting his past through a series of recorded monologues. The performance promises to unearth his dreams, moments of profound elation, and his inevitable despair. Following this specific showing, there will be an opportunity for audience members to engage directly with the production during a 15-minute post-show question and answer session.
