At 84 and recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Marinker brings decades of experience performing Beckett's work as he returns to one of the playwright's most demanding solo roles - with the function of memory in relation to selfhood at the heart of the production. ​In Krapp's Last Tape, Beckett's one-act monologue written in 1958, the audience meets a man marking his birthday alone, while listening to and reflecting on recordings he has made each year on that day. We hear a recording Krapp made at the age of 39 and within it, his reflections on tapes made in earlier years, as he makes what we are told is his last tape. This new production will use reel-to reel recordings made by Peter the last time he played Krapp in 1983. Live in-ear prompts, where needed, will run alongside the play, highlighting the relationship between memory and remembering, cognition and re-cognition. Following his recent Alzheimer's diagnosis, the decision to return to Krapp's Last Tape at this stage in his life has been a deeply personal one, allowing Peter to bring his lived experience to Beckett's exploration of memory and ageing, intellect, and intuition.

That sounds like the start of a bad joke but for high rise residents Lauren, Aaliyah and Pat, it's a night they'll never forget. Trapped in a malfunctioning lift, the three women are forced to properly talk, as the usual natter won't cut it. Can they find common ground…before they reach the ground floor?

October 1943. In a small office on the Avenue Foch in Paris, a Gestapo interrogator is questioning a young woman who has been known by many different names: Babuli, Jeanne-Marie, Nora, Madeleine. As one of the secret agents of Britain's Special Operations Executive – and the first female radio operator to be sent undercover into France – she has evaded capture far longer than most. But now she has been betrayed. As she faces the fate she has dreaded so long, memories crowd in – a beloved father, a thwarted lover, a gruelling journey to war, and an endless longing for her childhood piano. What has led her here? a small and quiet light is based on the life of Noor-un-Nisa Inayat Khan (1914-1944), an extraordinarily courageous woman who paid the ultimate price for her heroic fight against fascism.
