ABOUT THE PLAY
'Perhaps my best years are gone. When there was a chance of happiness. But I wouldn’t want them back. Not with the fire in me now.'
On his 69th birthday, a man sits alone and listens to the echoes of his younger self.
Krapp’s Last Tape is a journey through an old man’s life, filled with memories and hopes for the future, coupled with the mourning of lost love and unfulfilled ambition.
This production, directed by Academy Award nominee Stockard Channing and starring David Westhead, tours globally throughout 2025 and 2026.

ABOUT THE FILM
In a forgotten fishing village, a boat mysteriously appears in the old harbour. The Rose of Nevada, lost at sea with all hands 30 years ago, has returned. For the few who remember, it’s a sign. The Rose of Nevada must go out to sea again, maybe then the luck of the devastated village will turn.
— BFI Summary"It somehow melds stark, kitchen-sink realism with horror, sci-fi and experimental art cinema."
★★★★★ Rafa Sales Ross, Little White Lies"A dreamy tale of loss and grief, death and resurrection, as well as a supernatural reverie about the mysterious relationship between the present and past ..."
★★★★ Nick Schager, The Daily Beast"Rose of Nevada does not abandon or anonymize any of Jenkin’s hallmark quirks, and is thus unlikely to convert any agnostics. But for the faithful and the curious, here is a work of hypnotically accomplished form and legitimate depth."
★★★★ Sam Bodrojan, IndieWire5 attendees

ABOUT THE FILM
"The whiplash, double-pronged Chungking Express is one of the defining works of 1990s cinema and the film that made Wong Kar Wai an instant icon.
"Anything goes in Wong’s gloriously shot and utterly unexpected charmer, which cemented the sex appeal of its gorgeous stars and forever turned canned pineapple and the Mamas & the Papas’ “California Dreamin’” into tokens of romantic longing."
— Watershed Summary"I can honestly say, probably more than any other movie in the last two years, no movie spoke to me, got under my skin, just made me fall in love with it. I’ve seen Chungking Express several times, but the last time I just started crying, you know, tears just started falling during this movie, about three different times. And it’s just because my feelings for this movie run so deep… I’m just happy to love a movie this much."
— Quentin Tarantino (1996)"His hypnotic images of love and loss finally wear down your resistance as seemingly discordant sights and sounds coalesce into a radiant, crazy quilt"
— Peter Travers, Rolling Stone (1996)3 attendees
