Pinter performs in Royal Court Beckett revival

Published Tuesday 17 October 2006 at 13:20 by Alistair Smith

Nobel Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter performed at the Royal Court this week in a revival of Krapp’s Last Tape by Samuel Beckett.

The staging marked one of the most hotly anticipated dates in this year’s theatrical calendar and tickets for the ten-night run at the Royal Court Theatre Upstairs, which seats around 80, reportedly sold out in less than 20 minutes. Pinter is often regarded as Beckett’s theatrical successor and the production coincided with the 100th anniversary of the Irishman’s birth. Beckett himself became a Nobel laureate in 1969. Krapp’s Last Tape had its first production at the Royal Court in 1958.
