About
A grumpy builder, (Seamus O’Rourke) and his young Shakira loving labourer (Charlie McGuinness) arrive on Mogue’s Island to dig a grave in the debts of winter. It’s cold and eerie and full of myth. The more they dig, the more they realise that this was not such a good idea. Has Barney Bellew and Hector Hoctor really got something in common? Well, it just might be that they are both entangled in and ancient curse. An Ogeous Brose is scary and funny in equal measure where you can expect the unexpected... a great night out!Running Time
