'The Great Hunger' by Tom McIntyre is a hilarious, brutal and tragic work - a wonderful piece of physical theatre, featuring a truly ensemble large cast and directed by award winning director Geoffrey O'Keeffe.
The play is adapted from the Patrick Kavanagh poem of the same name and it charts the life and dreams of Patrick Maguire, a small farmer, suffering from sexual and spiritual starvation. McIntyre takes us back to a forgotten world and looks at themes of lust, love, loss and pain. the play fuses together a visual and verbal score that uses the actor's body as a highly charged instrument and promises a total theatrical experience. In a review of an earlier production, Fintan O'Toole wrote, "Tom McIntyre's version of Kavanagh's The Great Hunger heralds a theatre that can express what words can only suggest"
