Details

Generally considered to be Kavanagh's finest work, 'The Great Hunger' sharply delineates a life of economic and imaginative privation. Bachelor farmer Patrick Maguire has spent years at his mother's beck and call. When she finally dies aged 91, he himself is 65 and has missed the boat in terms of finding a wife and having a family of his own, a source of acute sorrow and regret to him. Peter Duffy's powerful and absorbing theatrical performance of this great poem has been touring the country for the past year to popular and critical acclaim.
