The Quare Land, by Cavan playwright John McManus and starring legendary Des Keogh, staged its world premiere in Galway last summer and following its success has recently embarked on a four-week tour of Ireland, coming to Roscommon Arts Centre on Tuesday and Wednesday April 5 and 6.
Celebrated as a thrilling and sharp comedy, The Quare Land is sure to be a crowd pleaser wherever it goes. The play centres around lead character Hugh Pugh, played by Des Keogh, who is about to take his first bath in four years. His bathing is disturbed by Rob McNulty (Frank O’Sullivan ), a developer wanting to buy a field. Hugh conducts negotiations from his bathtub and is reluctant to sell while McNulty pulls out all the stops to complete the sale. The quickfire banter between the two characters escalates into an epic finale as both try to reason each other into submission.
Tickets are available from Roscommon Arts Centre and are priced at €18/€16. To contact the box office call (090 ) 6625824.
