Buried at Sea
A play with music
'Hilarious, touching and wrenching in all its honesty' - Arts Hub.
Take an intimate journey with the playwright through
time, nostalgia and romance,
as he strives to discover the life of his Great Great Uncle,
George Edward Bradford,
who fought and died at Gallipoli.
How far can you reach into the past before you
lose sight of the present?
'A new perspective to our nostalgia for the ANZACs
and their stories' - Stage Whispers.
A one-man show interweaving ancestry, letters, songs and storytelling, told from the perspective of the playwright.

Following its premiere season at the Brisbane Anywhere Festival in 2016, Buried at Sea performed to critical acclaim at the Melbourne Fringe 2016, Adelaide Fringe 2017 and to a sell-out crowd in The Snowy Mountains in NSW in 2017.
To culminate the show's journey, Buried at Sea performed two final shows at Forbes Town Hall in 2018, the home town of Mark's Great Great Uncle George.
