The Love Hungry Farmer

The Love Hungry Farmer by John B Keane
John Bosco McLaine 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 Irelands masterful present day storyteller, Seamus ORourke brings to life in this production the wistful, blundering, romantic John Bosco McLean, matching stride for stride Keanes fantastic wit and way with words in an uproarious evening of laughter, love, hope and desire
John B. Keane ranks among the great Irish writers. His plays include Sive, The Field and Big Maggie. His Letters series of books were a spectacular success, with The Love Hungry Farmer being particularly outstanding.
