When they’re in a hole, some people start digging.

1998. In an overlooked pub in a left-behind town, an unlikely hero and his would-be agent plot to put themselves on the map via an insane World Record attempt – the longest time buried alive. That’s five months in an oversized coffin, under a tiny beer garden in the Midlands.

A true and often hilarious tale of courage, endurance, hope, despair, love, lies and media manipulation by Argus Angel-winners Brian Mitchell and Joseph Nixon.

'… on the surface about a bizarre record attempt, underneath an indictment of society's attitude to the little people.'

Joseph Nixon, who co-wrote 'Underdogs', also co-wrote 'The Shark is Broken' together with Ian Shaw which was a hit in the West End in 2021/22 and is due to transfer to Broadway in July 2023.

'The Foundry Group’s new play crackles with sharp one-liners… subtly layered with universal themes of love and loss. Highly recommended.' FringeReview 'Enchanting comedy… the writers captured perfectly the absurdism of the piece… clever and endearing.' Gscene
