Irish Repertory Theatre, With ‘Beckett Briefs,’ Stages Three Short Works by the Master Playwright

The Beckett classic ‘Krapp’s Last Tape,’ which includes a master class in acting from F. Murray Abraham, is featured along with ‘Not I’ and ‘Play.’ Irish Rep’s producing director, Ciarán O’Reilly, expertly helms the collection.

For a master class in acting that takes less than a minute of your time, check out F. Murray Abraham peeling a banana in Irish Repertory Theatre’s new staging of “Krapp’s Last Tape.” That Samuel Beckett classic is the last and most famous of three short plays the company is presenting as “Beckett Briefs,” and it’s well worth the price of admission on its own.
