In 1968, Nottinghamshire housewife Emma Smith traded her kitchen for a coffin. Buried beneath the Skegness seafront in a record breaking attempt, Emma invites us into a subterranean world of Radio Caroline, cream crackers and DH Lawrence. As she battles claustrophobia and public scrutiny, she unearths her past as a Belgian refugee and former nun. Unearthed explores the "everyday housewife's" desperate search for identity. A haunting, gritty portrait of a woman finding freedom in the dark. Previous production, Waiting for Elvis **** (TheWeeReview.com), ‘Life affirming’ ***** (ThreeWeeks).
