Summary:

The Great Hunger, Tom Mac Intyre's internationally celebrated play of 1983, and The Gallant John-Joe, his most recent dramatic work, show Mac Intyre to be one of the most daringly and excitingly original Irish writers working today. The Great Hunger is Mac Intyre's version of Patrick Kavanagh's long poem of the same name.

The play fuses image, movement and language into a classic of contemporary Irish drama. The Gallant John-Joe is the soliloquy
