Every year on his birthday, Krapp (Brian Dennehy) records the important and the banal moments of the last year.

It’s the dark, sardonic humor of life
It’s probably the greatest play I’ve ever been involved with ... And I’ve done a lot of great plays. But ‘Krapp’s’ is everybody’s life.
A wonderful cast, the wonderful city of Chicago, the Goodman Theatre, a whole bunch of great saloons, my kind of town
I love this town, it's a great town, because it's filled with Chicagoans and they're extraordinary people

And of course, O'Neill's point is, that's what everybody does ... Everybody gets up in the morning and puts on their disguise.
