Krapp's Last Tape is a play by Samuel Beckett.

In it, Krapp, an aging man (with a fondness for bananas), finds a tape, "box three, spool five", in which Krapp when he is younger recounts details about his life at that time.

Krapp is dissatisfied with his younger self on listening: pompous and to Krapp's older point of view with misaligned priorities - Krapp listens particularly to his younger self recounting his past loves (and perhaps sexual encounters, but this is not explicitly stated), especially with one woman, one time on a barge.

Krapp, finally, records a blank reel, reflecting on listening to his younger self: "Just been listening to that stupid bastard I took myself for thirty years ago" - his last tape, finally wrenching it off the recorder.

What is interesting about Krapp's Last Tape is that it uses and deals with technology as a means of creating narrative and story, and reacting with history.
