Krapp's Last Tape Reviews

BroadwayWorld- Highly Recommended

"...Krapp’s Last Tape is Scena Theatre’s contribution to a mini-Beckett festival that has popped up in our midst this past week, and it’s a poignant reminder of how Beckett foresaw demise—his, ours, everyone’s—with a combination of wry humor, and a resignation that sometimes borders on relief."

DC Theater Arts- Highly Recommended

"...In the dimly lit black box upstairs at the DC Arts Center, Scena founder and artistic director Robert McNamara holds forth as the reclusive 69-year-old Krapp, replaying, and replying to, the voice of his 39-year-old self on an old-school spool-to-spool tape recorder. “Holds forth” is not exactly right, for McNamara appears to have entered so personally into the memory of this fictional man that when his trembling eyes stare into ours, it’s like peering into a sorrow that seems soul-deep."
