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.
