Summary

Krapp's Last Tape is a 1958 one-act play, in English, by Samuel Beckett. With a cast of one man, it was written for an Irish actor Patrick Magee and first titled "Magee monologue". It was inspired by Beckett's experience of listening

to Magee reading extracts from Molloy and From an Abandoned Work on the BBC Third Programme in December 1957.
