Underdogs

A true and often hilarious tale of courage, hope, despair, love, lies and media manipulation about an unlikely hero and his would-be agent who plot to put themselves on the map via an insane World Record attempt – the longest time buried alive.

1998. In an overlooked pub in a left-behind town, an unlikely hero and his would-be agent plot to put themselves on the map via an insane World Record attempt – the longest time buried alive. That’s five months in an oversized coffin, under a tiny beer garden in the Midlands. It’s a tale of the underdog and for those people and communities who feel neglected. A fabulous show by a hugely experienced rural touring company.

“The Foundry Group’s new play crackles with sharp one-liners… subtly layered with universal themes of love and loss. Highly recommended.” – Fringe Review
