The Mount Players Presents – A Skull in Connemara

A Skull in Connemara is a razor-sharp dark comedy set in a quiet Irish village where the dead don’t always stay buried — and neither do the secrets.

Each year, gravedigger Mick Dowd is tasked with clearing out old graves to make space for the newly departed.

But this year, something — or someone — hits a little too close to home.

With biting wit and a mounting sense of unease, the play spirals into a hilariously macabre investigation of small-town gossip, suspicion, and the skeletons we all try to keep buried.

This highly successful play is written by acclaimed playwright Martin McDonagh who at the age of 27 was the first playwright since Shakespeare to have four plays running simultaneously in London’s West-End. His screen writing credits include In Bruges, Three Billboard Outside Ebbing, Missouri, and The Banshees of Inisherin.

This seemingly dark tale redefines the concept of graveyard humour and is full of fun and frivolity that is sure to entertain.
