Based on a true story, travel back in time to 18th Century Ireland, to a place where ancient myth meets a changing landscape and a young woman in Lurgan is buried alive.
In 1705, Marjorie McCall was buried in Shankill graveyard, Lurgan. Married to John McCall, a young doctor, her sudden illness and untimely death had him deep in grief, as even with the knowledge of his trade, he was not able to save her. He mourned the loss of his young wife and had her waked and buried. Buried with a rather large and valuable wedding ring.
Yet not all mourned her loss, some saw it as a rather lucrative situation. The night of her burial, when all was quiet in the graveyard, two grave robbers knew that business was afoot. Under the cover of darkness they dug her back up, wanting the ring and even her cadaver to make themselves money. They opened her coffin and began to cut off her swollen finger…
Following a sold-out premiere run Dark Forest Theatre is proud to present Marjorie's Dead in the Grand Opera House Studio.

The production is sponsored by the Lurgan Townscape Heritage Scheme, an initiative supported by the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council and The National Lottery Heritage Fund
