This epic poem by Patrick Kavanagh, a masterpiece of Irish literature, is set in rural Monaghan in the late 1930s. With echoes of the Great Famine, the poem concerns the life and struggles of the anti-hero and small farmer Patrick Maguire. This unsentimental portrait of small farm life in 1930s is full of lyrical beauty, drama and mystical insight. With the simple use of props, costume, light and sound, the life and characters of the place are evoked, but with room for the imagination and experience of the audience. The intention is to bring the poem alive for the audience, in a way that is accessible, insightful and entertaining – without sacrificing the poetry.
