THURSDAY APRIL 9th & FRIDAY APRIL10th. Seamus O’Rourke in John B Keane’s THE LOVE HUNGRY FARMER
(Only a limited number of tickets now available)
John Bosco McLaine (Seamus O’Rourke) is a man who has never lain down with a woman, but has had romantic blood pulsing through his veins all his life. Always an optimist, and virgin in equal measure, he embarks on a search for an ideal companion regardless of age, failure rate or dammed advice!… and in a community where advice is ample and women few, he follows his heart in an ultimate bid to procure himself a wife. Often referred to as the natural successor to John B Keane as Ireland’s masterful present day storyteller, Seamus O’Rourke brings to life in this production the wistful, blundering, romantic John Bosco McLean, matching stride for stride Keane’s fantastic wit and way with words in an uproarious evening of laughter, love, hope and desire…

A story set during an exceptionally hot Irish summer; it deals with an unplanned pregnancy that brings disorder to the otherwise amicable O’Brien household. The various characters are torn apart by their beliefs in the best way to deal with the pregnancy.
Controversial in its day with its exploration of the class system, sexual liberation and the sanctity of family and marriage, its power hasn’t been diminished by time. Keen but never unkind, the attention of one of Ireland’s best-loved writers falls on human vanities and frailties of all kinds.
