A poignant theatrical adaptation of Patrick Kavanaghs epic poem, The Great Hunger centres on Patrick Maguire, a farmer whose life is an endless cycle of feeding the hens, boiling the kettle, lighting the fire and giving the cows their hay, with only the monotonous certainty of Sunday Mass or the meagre offerings of the crossroads to look forward to, by way of social life.

And yet sometimes when he is on the land, he has the most profound, life-giving experience of the spiritual in nature.
