heatre Club | The Love Hungry Farmer | By John B. Keane | City Theatre Dublin
Adapted for the stage and performed by Seamus O'Rourke | Directed by Michael Scott
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, he embarks on a search for an ideal companion regardless of age, failure rate or damned 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 McLaine, matching stride for stride Keane’s fantastic wit and way with words in an uproarious evening of laughter, love, hope and desire…
