By Seamus O’Rourke
Playwright and Director, Seamus O’Rourke has become well known in the theatre world for tackling serious contemporary social issues through humour and some very quirky, but recognisable rural Irish characters and ‘dig’ is no different…Two old friends, Tom O’Donnell and James McHugh are digging a grave for local character ‘Smokey’ McCormack whose spirit joins them on stage for the entire play. This play is about that ritual of grave digging… and about things that never get said between men… men who played sport together, men who would die for one another, men who would do anything for the ‘cause’ and yet keep their real thoughts a secret to the grave.
This is a story so powerful and captivating from its opening words, yet so full of wit and humour throughout.
