Synopsis
Set in Cavan in the 1930s, Tarry Flynn tells the story of Tarry, a farmer poet, and his quest for big fields, young women and the meaning of life. His sensibility is torn between two impulses: the poetic and the libidinous. We follow his adventures as he uncovers the beauty in every aspect of nature and farm life, all the while keeping up his desperate campaign to get a kiss.
“Fifteen years ago, I co-founded a theatre company in Cavan called Livin’ Dred and I’m proud of creating work in my home county. I feel very attached to the landscape… I’ve a real affinity for rural life. I love Dublin but I like to go down there and do some Pat McCabe stuff…”
