If you've ever kept a journal (or audio journal, or blog), and then revisited it years later, you know that there’s some emotional risk. It can summon up fond memories and some laughs, but it can also summon up regrets, remorse, feelings of loss, irrational contempt towards one's younger self, etc. In short, it can be the stuff of drama.

So, in Krapp’s Last Tape, in a darkened room full of dusty boxes, an old man - Krapp - sits at a table, eats some bananas, drinks some booze. Digging through one of the boxes, he pulls out a reel of tape, loads it onto the machine, and begins to listen - to listen to himself as he once was, as he sounded thirty years earlier.  And this hymn to failure, despair and the ravages of time becomes illuminating and provocatively entertaining.

A one-act 20th century masterpiece from the man who wrote Waiting For Godot and changed the direction of drama forever.
