		John B Keane, who has died aged 73 of prostate cancer, was one of Ireland's most forthright, individualistic and controversial playwrights, with international stage and screen successes such as The Field to his credit.
		The son of a schoolmaster, Keane left St Michael's College, Listowel, to work, from 1946 to 1951, as a chemist's assistant, a post in which his chief duty was preparing ointment for the Earl of Doneraile's piles.
		Besides plays, Keane also produced a series of epistolary squibs, such as Letters Of A Successful TD (or member of the Irish parliament) and Letters Of A Love-Hungry Farmer, which ridiculed those who seek respectability in the mistaken belief that they are acquiring dignity.

	The Matchmaker - John B. Keane (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Though sex is mostly spoken of in euphemisms in the play (which change depending on the background of the person writing the letter), the play is run through with hilariously unabashed descriptions of characters and situations which are usually dead on target and laced with witty satire.
		Keane was once again thumbing his nose at traditional depictions of rural Ireland with a blend of cliché and subversion, moving attitudes into the seventies with the look and feel of the fifties.
		The story of a man chasing a woman around a table in a pub with his trousers round his ankles is potentially horrific, yet seems logical under the circumstances as you hear tell of the consequences.

		Keane set out to write a play in which a woman took centrestage, and in doing so created a real ould rip.
