2007 Nation Theatre ‘I. Vazov’, Bulgaria - ‘Krapp’ based on Samuel Beckett`s ‘Krapp's Last Tape’ - director and composer of the music-environment for the performance;
Samuel Beckett came from nearby Foxrock and is said to have experienced an artistic epiphany, alluded to in his play Krapp's Last Tape, while sitting on the end of one of Dún Laoghaire's piers.
Krapp has performed throughout Europe, America and Japan as a concert organist and was worked with renowned conductors such as Rafael Kubelik, Georges Pretre, Colin Davis, Lorin Maazel, Vladimir Fedoseyev, Horst Stein and Christoph Eschenbach.
The performance was at the BBC Studios at Maida Vale in London, where it was recorded for a future radio broadcast on 10 September on BBC Radio 3 as part of a wide-ranging festival of Beckett's work in London.
Rejected by New York producers, the play premiered in West Berlin at the Schiller Theater Werkstatt on 28 September 1959 in a double bill with the German premiere of Samuel Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape.
