John Bosco McLaine is a man who has never lain down with a woman, but has had romantic blood pulsing through his veins all his life. Always an optimist, and virgin in equal measure, he embarks on a search for an ideal companion regardless of age, failure rate or dammed advice!… and in a community where advice is ample and women few, he follows his heart in an ultimate bid to procure himself a wife.
Often referred to as the natural successor to John B Keane as Ireland’s masterful present day storyteller, Seamus O’Rourke brings to life in this production the wistful, blundering, romantic John Bosco McLean, matching stride for stride Keane’s fantastic wit and way with words inan uproarious evening of laughter, love, hope and desire…
John B. Keane is one of Ireland’s best-loved and best-selling authors was born in 1928 in Listowel , Co. Kerry. He spent his literary career running a pub in Listowel which provided him with much of the inspiration for his characters and ideas.

John B. Keane ranks among the great Irish writers. His plays include Sive, The Field and Big Maggie. His Letters series of books were a spectacular success, with The Love Hungry Farmer being particularly outstanding.
