"To mark the tenth anniversary of the death of John B Keane, the Glencullen Musical & Dramatic Society are staging The Field, which is perhaps Keane’s best known play, first performed in 1965, and based on a true story. Keane draws a portrait of rural life in Ireland in the mid-20th century that is both loving and damning, sorrowful and censorious. In the hearts of villagers involved in the cover-up of an act of violence, cowardice and an easy accommodation with brutality sit alongside humour and wit, loyalty to clan and class, and a fierce love of the land. Directed by Bernard Doyle for The Glencullen Musical & Dramatic Society "
