John Shedden, Anna Hepburn and Finlay McLean present John B. Keane's uproariously unabashed classic, featuring a gallery of glorious eccentrics looking for love. Dicky Mick Dicky O'Connor is determined to use all his cunning to hook up the hotchpot of lonely hearts in a comic mix of tragedy, drama and the bizarre. However, underneath the witty satire lies the strong sense of human need, with a powerful assertion of the importance of human contact. Adapted by Donald Smith from Letters of a Matchmaker by John. B. Keane, published by Mercier Press.
