The Field is a play written by John B. Keane, first performed in 1965. It tells the story of the hardened Irish farmer "Bull" McCabe and his love for the land he rents. The play debuted at Dublin's Olympia Theatre in 1965, with Ray McAnally as "The Bull" and Eamon Keane as "The Bird" O'Donnell. The play was published in 1966 by Mercier Press. A new version with some changes was produced in 1987.
John B. Keane based the story on the 1959 murder of Moss Moore, a bachelor farmer living in Reamore, County Kerry. Dan Foley, a neighbour with whom Moore had a long-running dispute, was suspected of the murder, but the charges were denied by Foley's family.
Plot
The Field is set in a small country village in southwest Ireland.
Rugged individualist Bull McCabe has spent five hard years of labour cultivating a small plot of rented land, nurturing it from barren rock into a fertile field. When the owner of the field decides to auction it, He believes that he has a claim to the land. The McCabes intimidate most of the townspeople out of bidding in the auction, to the chagrin of auctioneer Mick Flanagan, but Galwayman William Dee arrives from England, where he has lived for many years, with a plan to cover the field with concrete and extract gravel from the adjacent river. An encounter between Dee and the McCabes ends in Dee's death and a cover-up.

According to her author profile, she is a spokesperson "on consciousness, the new physics, and the practices of conventional and alternative medicine."
McTaggart is an anti-vaccinationist. She promotes this belief in her book What Doctors Don't Tell You and in other publications. This has drawn significant criticism of her work and has created controversy.
She is married to publisher Bryan Hubbard, has two daughters, and lives in London.
Career
In her autobiography McTaggart reports that after recovering from an illness using alternative medical approaches her husband suggested she start a newsletter on the risks of some medical practices and devised the title: "What Doctors Don't Tell You". In 1996 McTaggart published the book with the same name.
She and her husband set up a public company in 2001, What Doctors Don't Tell You plc, later Conatus plc, which published newsletters, magazines and audio-tapes based on conferences and seminars including, What Doctors Don't Tell You, PROOF!, and Living the Field. This company was wound up in 2009.
The Field is the source of a mancers power in Ian Irvine's The Well of Echoes quartet. The field is generated by naturally occurring nodes and is one of many forces nodes generate, however it is the weakest.
Torgnadrs or node-drainers created by the lyrinx are capable of draining a node of the field, though it releases that power into the node-draining chamber it is located in. Such a place does not adhere to the laws of physics or reality.
Ryll the lyrinx creates a Flisnadr or power patterner, on the advice of Matriarch Gyrull, that drains a node of the field as a Torgnadr does, but doesn't release it uselessly. The user of a Flisnadr can direct the power as he chooses.
