Krapp's Last Tape at the Barbican: 'Stephen Rea is oddly workmanlike'
Irish company Landmark did for this production, originally staged by Vicky Featherstone in Dublin last year. Though the play is about memory, loss and the encroachment of death, there'll be no more mention of dates and ages from now on, I promise. Rea is more enigmatic and less melancholic than other Krapps I've witnessed. Maybe each generation gets the Krapp it deserves.
