The Love Hungry Farmer by John B. Keane

This event has now Sold Out, please contact box office if you would like to be placed on a waiting list. 

John Bosco Mc Laine 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…

We look forward to welcoming you to Siamsa Tíre Theatre and Arts Centre.
