The 50th Anniversary Production of The Field opens at The Gaiety Theatre from 23rd April to 16th May 2015.
‘The Field is a compelling and masterful piece of writing, acclaimed as ‘a magnificent play’ (The Herald).
Michael Harding will take on one of the greatest roles in Irish theatre – The Bull McCabe. Michael Harding has gained widespread acclaim as an actor ‘Harding’s performance is nothing short of glorious’ (Sunday Independent).
The stellar cast also include:
Aidan McArdle (UTV’s Mr.Selfridge) as William Dee
Ian Lloyd Anderson (Love/Hate)
Catherine Byrne (Fair City)

The Field continues to strike a chord with audiences throughout the world. The story burrows deep into the heart of rural Ireland in the late 1950s; at its core is the enduring link between the Irish people and ‘the land’. The play is based on the true story of the 1959 murder of Moss Moore, a bachelor farmer in Co. Kerry. Moore’s neighbour, Dan Foley, with whom he had a long standing dispute over a right of way, was believed to have committed the murder. Foley’s family denied the charge and no one was ever brought to justice.
