Krapp’s Last Tape review: Gary Oldman is sublime

In these early moments, it seems as if his Godot – unkempt, straggle-haired, bushy-bearded – might have dementia. It makes sense. This is a play about memory, about the dominance the past can have over the present. (Actor Peter Marinker, who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, will play Krapp at the Cockpit in September, using recordings he made when he last played the part in 1983.)
