The Love Hungry Farmer
The Love Hungry Farmer by John B. Keane, adapted for the stage by Seamus O’Rourke:
John Bosco McLaine is a bachelor farmer with a romantic heart and an unshakeable belief that love is just around the corner. Although he has never had much luck with women, his optimism remains intact. Undeterred by the endless advice and opinions of his neighbours in a community where eligible women are few and gossip is plentiful, John Bosco sets out on a determined search for a wife.
In this warm, funny, and deeply touching adaptation of John B. Keane’s beloved novella, Seamus O’Rourke brings the lovable farmer to life with humour, heart, and exceptional storytelling. Often compared to Keane himself for his gift of capturing rural Irish life, O’Rourke delivers a performance filled with colourful characters, sharp observations, and genuine humanity.
A delightful evening of laughter, love, and one man’s unforgettable quest to find his perfect match.
