Neil Barnes, Senior Marketing Manager at Benenden Health, said:
“What a privilege for York to welcome back one of the country’s greatest actors to the place where he started his career. Gary Oldman’s performance in Krapp’s Last Tape at York Theatre Royal will be one to savour, and I know many who are really looking forward to it. Benenden Health has come on board as a Stage Partner to show that theatre can be a positive catalyst to wellbeing and the community, whether it’s getting lost in a fabulous performance or taking part yourself.”
Abbi Ollive, Castle Howard Visitor Attraction Director, said:
“We are so thrilled to be sponsoring Krapp’s Last Tape, and to be part of this exceptional cultural moment in York this spring. York has long been a cultural hotspot and destination, and we are proud to have a part in this headline moment for 2025.
Castle Howard, a stately home with international acclaim just 30 minutes from York, has undergone a major once-in-a-generation restoration project inside the House, with the results revealed to the public this April. We hope many of the Krapp’s Last Tape audiences in York, and visiting the city from further afield, will also take the opportunity to pay us a visit, and see the works for the first time.”
The Ivy Collection is delighted to be partnering with York Theatre Royal for the production of Gary Oldman’s Krapp’s Last Tape.
