A theatre adventure in archaeology for children aged 6 years plus.

All his life Mac has wanted to be an Archaeologist, to be an expert at finding things and working out what they mean. If only he could stick to the facts and not get carried away with his highfalutin stories, but in a world where facts and figures mean so much more than fairytale and fantasy, Mac has to dig deep to prove himself. Will people believe him, or is this just another of his tall tales?

Performer and writer Paul Curley and designer Ger Clancy, in collaboration with director Robert Alan Evans, bring this theatre adventure in archaeology to life. THE DIG spins a classic yarn into a brand new light that delights audiences young and old.

Many of our pupils would not have an opportunity outside of school to attend a play or theatre event, so it is fantastic to be able to expose them to theatre within the school environment.”
