Playing @
Irish Repertory Theatre
132 W 22nd St, New York, NY 10011
Three short plays that run the gamut of existence from birth to the afterlife.

Not I
“Practically speechless….all her days.”
A non-verbal woman, who was abandoned by her parents at birth and lives an uneventful life until the age of 70, suddenly hears voices and realizes it’s herself speaking.

Play
“We were not long together when she smelt a rat.”
Eternally together in the afterlife and locked in their urns, a man, his wife, and his mistress relay the sordid details of their love triangle.

Krapp's Last Tape
“Perhaps my best years are gone…But I wouldn’t want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn’t want them back.”
Krapp (F. Murray Abraham), an aged man, reviews his life with the assistance of his younger self heard on autobiographical tape recordings.
