A patch of peatland in the midlands of Ireland.
For young audiences aged 8+. Commissioned by The Ark.
On the edge of a town, in the middle of a bog, half way between a school and a housing estate, Rayy and Jo have come to dig a hole. The story is centred on the things they bury, and the things they find. With lightness and humour, this play for children asks big questions about life, death, time and history. A conversation between two 11-year olds who find themselves standing on top of everything that has ever happened, it is a story of friendship, loss, and finding our place in the world.
