It fills few pages. It is perhaps the most original and important play of its length ever written.'' (Roy Walker)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe present volume brings together \u003ci\u003eKrapp''s Last Tape\u003c\/i\u003e and Beckett''s other shorter works or ''dramaticules'' written for the stage. It will be complemented by a forthcoming Faber edition of dramatic works written for radio and screen. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArranged in chronological order of composition, these shorter plays exhibit the laconic means and compassionate ends of Beckett''s dramatic vision. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKRAPP\u003c\/i\u003e ''Here I end this reel.
