THE GUARDIAN:
READERS' FAVOURITE SHOWS OF 2015
"theatre at its best"
Unearthed
On their 18th birthday, twins Ben and Eliza bury a time capsule in the Somerset countryside to mark the occasion and cement their bond, but the day goes horribly wrong.
Some years later, the two siblings, now estranged and living far apart, are forced back together on a quest to honour the unusual wishes in their late father's will.
They find themselves thrown into absurd and ludicrous situations and forced to confront a few home truths, on an enlightening mission that will reignite past memories and dig up some well-buried secrets...
Unearthed has enjoyed two successful tours (both supported by ACE) playing at venues including Salisbury Playhouse, Hull Truck, St James Theatre, Trowbridge Arts, Pound Arts, The Brewhouse Theatre, The Arcola, The New Wimbledon, South Hill Park & Cheltenham Everyman.
The production received 5* and 4* reviews and was subsequently listed in The Guardian as one of their readers’ favourite shows of 2015. To read the full article on The Guardian's website, please follow this link
