Lighting Designer

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. Hailed by The Guardian as “a superior play that redefined the concept of graveyard humour,” this piece completes ICTC’s productions of McDonagh’s The Leenane Trilogy, following The Beauty Queen of Leenane and The Lonesome West, by the director and author of the Golden Globe Award-winning Banshees of Inisherin.
