Comedy sees Cavan farmer confront life’s big questions
Seamus O’Rourke’s mad, galloping tale of cantankerous Cavan farmer, Victor Maguire and the ghosts of his past, present and maybe future. It’s full of philosophy for beginners – it’s smeared in sadness, but there’s lots of accidental joy. If only we could win a prize.
