Set in the village of Carraigthomond, The Field is a powerful and compelling exploration of land, ownership, ambition and obsession.

When widow Maggie Butler puts her field up for public auction, the Bull McCabe is determined to secure the land he has rented and worked for the past five years. To the Bull, the field is far more than a piece of land — it represents his livelihood, his pride and his future. Convinced that he has a rightful claim to it, he will stop at nothing to prevent anyone else from bidding against him.

But the Bull’s influence over the village is built on fear, and as his determination turns to obsession, a dangerous chain of events begins to unfold. Has the Bull finally gone too far?

Featuring a large and highly experienced cast, The Field brings to life a vivid cast of unforgettable characters in one of Ireland’s most enduring and powerful plays.

A gripping story of land, power and the lengths we will go to protect what we believe is ours, The Field is a firm favourite with audiences. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience John B. Keane’s classic play live on stage.
