The Story:
Set In Rural Galway (Ireland), This Darkly Comedic Yarn Conjures A Macabre Mystery Packed With Merriment, Mayhem, And Might-Be Murder... For one week each autumn, Mick Dowd is hired to exhume the bones in certain sections of his local cemetery to make way for the new arrivals. As the time approaches for him to dig up those of his own late wife, strange rumors regarding his involvement in her sudden death seven years ago gradually begin to resurface.
The Cast:
The role of Mick Dowd has been pre-cast.
Mary Rafferty – Seventies – One of Mick's few regular visitors and something of a local gossip.
Preoccupied with propriety but not above cheating at bingo. Believes that Mick killed his wife.
Mairtin Hanlon – Early Twenties – A local near-do-well. Well meaning but misguided. As a
punishment for disturbing a recent choir rehearsal, the priest has assigned him to be Mick’s
unwelcome apprentice.
Thomas Hanlon – Thirties – Mairtin’s older brother and a local cop who aspires to make
detective, although it might be above his skill level. Desperate for the type of juicy mystery he
sees on TV, but his rural island can’t provide.
