The Year of the Hiker by John B Keane
Presented by Torch Players
John B. Keane’s play, The Year of the Hiker, tells the story of a patriarch, The Hiker Lacey, who left his family and the family home to take to the roads 20 years ago, and reappears, unknowingly, on the day of his daughter’s wedding.
As the drama unfolds Keane’s powerful writing gives us an insight into the effect on a family deserted by their globe-wandering father, the development of their coping powers, the reaction to his return and ultimately the real reason why the Hiker took to the roads and eventually returns.
How each of the family come to terms with the Hiker’s return unfolds in an ambiguous manner.
