We Don’t Know What’s Buried Here
The Irish premiere of We Don’t Know What’s Buried Here
Tina and Bernadette, are digging a hole in the ground. They dig everyday, methodically, looking for what has been hidden from them.
They are Magdalene Ghosts. They heard about Tuam on the radio. One of them is digging to find her baby’s bones, the other is digging to expose the truth. Should they keep digging? Or is it better to leave the truth under the ground, where it belongs?
After all, people who dig to find out what’s buried aren’t treated very well in this country, risking legal action, and the ruination of their good name. So why keep going?
This is a powerhouse new play by Grace Dyas about class, value and work with support from Dublin Honours Magdalene’s, Jobstown Not Guilty and Senator Lynn Ruane.
“Taking conventional notions of theatre and its audience and shoving them back in our faces, with a few expletives thrown in.” – The Irish Independent
