Krapp's Last Tape was first performed by Patrick Magee at the Royal
Court Theatre in October 1958, and described as 'a solo, if that is
the word, for one voice and two organs: one human, one mechanical.
It fills few pages. It is perhaps the most original and important
play of its length ever written.' (Roy Walker) The present volume
brings together Krapp's Last Tape and Beckett's other shorter works
or 'dramaticules' written for the stage. It will be complemented by
a forthcoming Faber edition of dramatic works written for radio and
screen. Arranged in chronological order of composition, these
shorter plays exhibit the laconic means and compassionate ends of
Beckett's dramatic vision. KRAPP 'Here I end this reel. Box -
[Pause.] - three, spool - [Pause.] - five. [Pause.] Perhaps my best
years have gone. When there was a chance of happiness. But I
wouldn't want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I
wouldn't want them back. [Staring motionless before him.]
