The Love-Hungry Farmer

Des Keogh, one of Ireland’s foremost actors and entertainers, brings his hugely successful and award winning show ‘The Love Hungry Farmer’ by John B. Keane to Armagh for the first time. It tells the story of John Bosco McLane, a bachelor of ‘indeterminate’ age and according to his own assessment, ‘past his best’ and evidently still a virgin. McLane’s amorous adventures range from the hilarious to the pitiful.



John B. Keane ranks among the great Irish writers. His plays include ‘Sive’, ‘The Field’ and ‘Big Maggie’. ‘The Field’ became an Oscar nominated film starring Richard Harris.



‘Des Keogh is superb. A consummate actor wedded to a skilled raconteur, the wine he offers is vintage’ Irish Times
