The Love Hungry Farmer

Back to What's On

The Love Hungry Farmer

The Love Hungry Farmer by John B. Keane, adapted and performed by Seamus O Rourke. Directed by Michael Scott. John B. Keane ranks among the great Irish writers. His plays include Sive, The Field and Big Maggie. The wistful, blundering, John Bosco McLaine has never been with a woman, having romantic blood pulsing through his veins all his life. Optimist and virgin in equal measure, he embarks on a search for an ideal companion regardless of age, failure rate or dammed advice! An uproarious production of laughter, love, hope and desire...
