The Love Hungry Farmer
About the show
THE LOVE HUNGRY FARMER by John B. Keane is adapted for the stage and performed by Seamus O Rourke, one of Ireland's most beloved performers.
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.
Ireland’s masterful storyteller Seamus O’Rourke brings to life 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…
John B. Keane is one of Ireland’s best-loved and best-selling authors was born in 1928 in Listowel , Co. Kerry. He spent his literary career running a pub in Listowel which provided him with much of the inspiration for his characters and ideas.
