Blanchardstown, Co. Dublin
30 May 2026
John Bosco McLaine is a man who has never lain down with a woman, but has had romantic blood pulsing through his veins all his life.

Often referred to as the natural successor to John B Keane as Ireland’s masterful present day storyteller, Seamus O’Rourke brings to life in this production the wistful, blundering, romantic John Bosco McLean, matching stride for stride Keane’s fantastic wit and way with words in an uproarious evening of laughter, love, hope and desire…
