Bob Nasmith Reprises Role in Krapp’s Last Tape

Press Release

After a sold out run and two sold out extensions in 2018, Award Winning Actor, Bob Nasmith is back, tackling Samuel Beckett for a remount of Singing Swan and VideoCabaret’s critically acclaimed production of Krapp’s Last Tape October 4-21 at Theatre Passe Muraille Backspace.

On his birthday, Krapp records a reel-to-reel tape of annual reminiscences, and forces himself to review a long life and face the diminishing future. Beckett’s rare mix of humour and tragedy are incarnated by iconic Canadian actor Bob Nasmith, founding member of VideoCabaret, Emeritus Board Member of Theatre Passe Muraille and recent recipient of the Toronto Theatre Critics Lifetime Achievement Award.

“Nasmith’s performance is exquisite – the pathos not overplayed, the humour stinging but still funny.” (★★★★ K. Nestruck- The Globe and Mail)

Directed by Mac Fyfe (Stratford Festival, Canadian Stage), delicately sound designed by VideoCabaret alumni Andrew Dollar and produced by Indie whiz brain, Claire Burns (Storefront Theatre, Toronto Fringe), tickets for this remount are bound to go quickly. “Nasmith’s performance is pitch-perfect, capturing the layers of regret, bemused self-loathing and stubborn resilience that make up the character” (★★★1/2 Karen Fricker- The Toronto Star)

“Krapp’s Last Tape” is presented by special agreement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.
