Following great successes with  Year of The Hiker, Big Maggie, Dancing at Lughnasa and Never Going Back There, Hunters moon Theatre begins its autumn tour of the John B. Keane play 'The Field.'


Carrigaline based Hunter Moon Theatre was founded in 2018 by Philip O Byrne and since then has toured widely throughout Munster with many Classic Irish plays including the Irish premiere of Never Going Back There.

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 local cast, The Field brings to life a host 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 and is expected to sell quickly.


Don’t miss this opportunity to experience John B. Keane’s classic play live on stage . Book early to avoid disappointment.
