Is é Macdara Ó Fátharta atá i bpáirt Krapp sa dráma Téip Dheireanach Krapp le Beckett, Krapp an duine colgach uaigneach a chuir an grá i leataobh ar mhaithe lena ghairm mar scríbhneoir. Aistriúchán Gaeilge úrnua le Gabriel Rosenstock don chompántas Mouth on Fire, an compántas a chuireann roimhe saothar Bheckett a chur ar fáil go slachtmhar do chách, i mBéarla agus i nGaeilge.
Aisteoir de chuid Amharclann na Mainistreach é Macdara agus páirteanna éagsúla aige i scannáin agus i gcláir theilifíse. Aithne ag an saol Fódlach air mar Thadhg sa sobaldráma Ros na Rún. Is é Cathal Quinn an stiúrthóir agus ocht gcinn déag de phíosaí Bheckett, i nGaeilge agus i mBéarla, déanta aige agus iad tugtha aige ar camchuairt ar fud an domhain, in Éirinn, i Sasana, sa tSeapáin, sa Rúis agus san India.
