The Year of The Hiker, Part II

My inspiration for declaring this year “The Year of The Hiker” came from attending a stirring performance of a play by the same name during the waning days of The Year of the Rat (2008) at the Banshee Theater in Burbank.

John B. Keene’s The Year of the Hiker has been a classic in the playwright’s native Ireland ever since it debuted in the early 1960s, but is rarely staged in the United States.
