Synopsis: | How cool is this? A nerd scientist, Dr. George Krapp (John Feffer) has invented genetic modification - bacillus hypocritus, or 'the love bug' - which extends human life expectancy by five years. But he cant get approval for human experimentation in the U.S., which will be necessary before he can market the product. So he travels to D.C. in order to make a presentation before the 'sophisticated audience' who might persuade the authorities to change their minds. Krapps principal barrier in accomplishing this task is - Krapp. He is dry, given to meandering, and, frankly, boring. A half hour listening to unadulterated Krapp and believe me, life extension will be the furthest thing from your mind. So Krapp has devised a couple of strategies to keep his audience engaged while he goes astray. One is the PowerPoint presentation, which tells us what Dr. Krapp meant to say when he wandered off to talk about his wife or to share his bitterness toward his colleague Malcolm. The PowerPoint is a blizzard of authoritative-looking formulae and charts, interspersed with commercial-grade pictures of happy people, all, presumably, now enjoying lives five years longer. But since Krapp programmed the PowerPoint, it inevitably begins to hunt down Krapps obsessive concerns, eventually providing charts and formulae which measure Krapps miserable personal life in as much detail as it measures animal trials on the love bug. Krapps other strategy is to invent alternative universe Krapp to take us over the boring parts. This crypto-Krapp, influenced by the techniques of his childhood minister, Father Divine, is a mesmerizing storyteller who once held the great physicist Dr. Richard Feynman in thrall as he explained how Feynmans theories meshed with his own. He needs no power point to tell his story. He is Krapp; hear him spin. As you may have guessed by now, Krapps Last Power Point has nothing to do with the iconic Beckett play - except for this: they both feature a banana. In this version, Krapp does not slip on the banana peel. That distinction is reserved for us. | |||||
