MMP-1: Krapp's Last Tape: On Disembodied Performance Presence

This extract is from a performance of Samuel Beckett's play 'Krapps Last Tape', with the lead role played by John Hurt. in this case, the performer seems to divide - the live presence of Hurt, and the recorded voice on tape. The subtitles are Finnish.

Thank you for posting this!! I've been wanting to see this again, this incredible performance and direction, since I saw it at its premier in Northern Ireland. Please post the rest of it if you can. This is an extraordinary piece and has been captured in its best light by these perceptive and talented artists.

This is a awesome performance of Krapp's Last Tape by John Hurt, I have the whole play on VHS. I'd love to see Harold Pinter's performance of the play, it got some amazing reviews.

Like adamreich, I've been wanting to see this again for years, after I accidentally caught it on Channel 4 when they were doing a season of Beckett. Please please please post the whole thing if possible, I'm desperate to see it again!

I would have much preferred it if it had just stayed on the opening throughout.
