SIVE

April 8TH - April 18th 2015

By John B. Keane

Set in southern Ireland of the 1950s, the play tells the story of Sive, an orphan schoolgirl who lives in a poor farmhouse with her Uncle Mike, Aunt Mena and her grandmother. The local matchmaker sets up a match between an old, rich farmer and young Sive. Mike and Mena will receive £200 if they agree to the marriage. Sive is distraught at the prospect, and her sweetheart Liam sets a plan in motion for them to elope on her last night of freedom. But fate intervenes and the story takes an unexpected twist . . .

This is considered by many to be the finest written and most enduring of John B. Keane’s plays.

The action takes place in a farmhouse kitchen in southern Ireland in the 1950s.
