Ettie Best Comedy in a Fringe Venue nominee – here lies a dark comedy about a long underrepresented group: grave robbers (covert-excavators). A twisting show which keeps you guessing and 'balances grotesque dark depths with pure, ridiculous joy' **** (Everything-Theatre.co.uk). Grave-robbing can be a sticky business, so whack on your marigolds and observe this unhinged odyssey with marathon runners, ghosts and… Take That? 'The best show about grave robbers I’ve ever seen!' **** (PinkPrinceTheatre.com). One more dig and David can leave the game, but has he already dug his own grave?
