Always known as a barrel of laughs, Victor’s Dung is really a sad play about an isolated cantankerous Cavan farmer whose war with the world is, on one Friday morning interrupted by a phone call from the hospital and the news that he hasn’t long to live. His existence and the existence of a God are brought into question as Victor Maguire cartwheels into memory, fantasy, poetry, despair and eventually love
Seamus O’Rourke once again takes on the role of Victor Maguire on his own little farm with its own little dung heap and a variety of animals and characters wonderfully betrayed by two very special actors, Tommy Sharkey and Charles McGuinness.
