A Skull in Connemara
Dark Comedy
by Martin McDonagh
Matinee- Thursday October 30th, 2008 @ 12:30pm SHARP
Appropriate for grades 10 to 12 (Mature content and extreme language warning)
For one week each autumn, Mick Dowd is hired to disinter the bones in certain sections of his local cemetery to make way for the new arrivals. As the time approaches for him to dig up those of his own late wife, strange rumours regarding his involvement in her sudden death seven years ago gradually begin to resurface.
What better Halloween treat than this ghoulish Irish comedy full of grave diggin', skull smashin' and poteen drinkin'!
“McDonagh's gift is at its most naked and infectious …it leaves you giddy with gruesome exhilaration.”
