The Great Hunger

Forbhreathnú

  • Drámadóir

    Tom MacIntyre 

  • Nótaí Faoin Údar

    From the poem by Patrick Kavanagh.

  • Achoimre

    The Great Hunger portrays the terrible isolation of a man, Maguire, tied to the husbandry of poor soil. Maguire's hunger is not a physical one - a need for food - 'but a hunger of the senses created through upbringing, poverty and religion'. Despite his sterility, absence from world affairs and sexual pleasure, the play is both celebratory and spiritual.
