The Field is a play written by John B. Keane about a village in South-West Ireland set in the 1950's. The main plot revolves around the character Bull McCabe. When the old widow Maggie Butler decides to sell the land her husband had left her in order to live off the money paid for the land, Bull McCabe, who'd been renting the land in order to graze his cattle, decides that he needs to put a stop to it. When William Dee, an English man expresses interest in the land and tries to obtain the land, the plot picks up. John Brendan Keane (July 21, 1928–May 30, 2002) was an Irish playwright, novelist and essayist from Listowel, County Kerry. ...

There was also a 1990 film adaption, but it contained a few changes, such as William Dee (now called Peter, or "The Yank") being American rather than English, no appearance of two key characters, a few additional characters, and a completely different ending altogether. This article is about the year. ...

In this adaption, the character of Bird O' Donnell appeared as Bull's simpleton henchman, which was not the case in the original play, also he didn't whistle like he had in the play and was much active. In the play, he was a clever middle-aged laidback alcoholic, who appeared as a much more neutral character rather than being on siding with morals or siding with Bull McCabe.
