The Gaelic Players Present: John B. Keene's The Chastitute

The "Chastitute" is a word to describe a man who has never been with a woman. This man is John Bosco McLaine, a middle-aged, bachelor farmer, whose most fervent wish in life is to acquire a wife. "It is essentially the story of human loneliness and the great hunger for human companionship" writes the playwright. Swinging from hilarious to tragic, audiences will relish the obvious comedy, yet, be moved by the unbearable solitude of a life without love.
