Manus Halligan Opens in Livin’ Dred’s Production of Tarry Flynn written by Patrick Kavanagh and adapted for the stage by Conall Morrison on the 10th March in Cavan.
Set in Cavan in the 1930s, Tarry Flynn tells the story of Tarry, a farmer poet, and his quest for big fields, young women and the meaning of life. His sensibility is torn between two impulses: the poetic and the libidinous. We follow his adventures as he uncovers the beauty in every aspect of nature and farm life, all the while keeping up his desperate campaign to get a kiss.
