John B Keane play for the Forum stage

Performed by the Bardic Theatre Group, the play is co-directed by Brian McMahon and Sean Faloon and will be in Derry on Thursday, March 19 (8pm).

Set in rural Ireland during the mid 1960s, it tells the story of Bull McCabe, a patriotic tenant farmer with a fearsome temper and an obsession with the field he has toiled for most of his life.

Bull McCabe epitomises the last stand in the protection of the old order, denying permission of entry to the impending industrial change which threatens the status quo.

Based on a true story, this dark and, at times, hilariously funny tale by John B Keane is a work which went on to inspire one of Ireland’s most successful films. This really is a not to be missed show.

The Field performs at the Millennium Forum on Thursday, March 19.

Tickets are now available from the Box Office, telephone 71 264455 or visit millenniumforum.co.uk for bookings.

* Don’t forget Keep Telling me lies will also come to the Forum on Friday, March 27. Watch this space for more details.
