Every year, on his birthday, Krapp records a tape. This year it is his 69th birthday and he is recording his last tape. As he does he finds himself listening back to one he recorded when he was a much younger man.
This one act play is one of Samuel Beckett’s greatest works. A witty and compelling reflection of the life of a man and the hopes that he once had.
