John B Keane's Sive at Dublin's Abbey Theatre

John B Keane's Sive has played to full houses at the Abbey since March 12. Tomorrow the curtain comes down on the production.

It has been a brilliant performance, tragic too.

The local matchmaker, Thomasheen Seán Rua, played by Simon O'Gorman, is vintage 'cute Irish hoor'.

And he gets away with it - for a while.

It's interesting to note that God's name is so often heard coming from the lips of the matchmaker and might even be said in reverential tones too.

He is probably the most devious person in the play.
