The Foundry Group presents ‘Underdogs’ at Taddington Village Institute on Friday 8 March 7:30
When they’re in a hole, some people start digging. In an overlooked pub in a left-behind town, an unlikely hero and his would-be agent plot to put themselves on the map via an insane World Record attempt – the longest time buried alive. That’s five months in an oversized coffin, under a tiny beer garden in the middle of Mansfield. A true and often hilarious tale of courage, endurance, hope, despair, love, lies and media manipulation.
The world premiere of Underdogs took place at Brighton’s Rialto Theatre as part of Brighton Fringe, 24th-28th May 2022 and was the winner of the OffFEST Award for Theatre, Brighton Fringe 2022.

“…on the surface about a bizarre record attempt; underneath an indictment of society’s attitude to the little people.” – Chris Neville-Smith

“The Foundry Group’s new play crackles with sharp one-liners… subtly layered with universal themes of love and loss. Highly recommended.” – Fringe Review

“Enchanting comedy… clever and endearing.” GScene

Tickets are now on sale – £12 advance, £14 on the door, £8 under 16s and students

A talk on the Thai Cave Rescue by Bill Whitehouse – an insider account of the rescue that gripped the world. We all knew it was happening but most of us didn’t realise that it was being coordinated from just a couple of miles away in Tideswell. At the time, Bill Whitehouse was the Vice Chair of the British Cave Rescue Council and found himself helping to orchestrate the international response. Bill is an excellent speaker and, by all accounts, his account is spellbinding. Not to be missed!
£5 on the door – a contribution will be made to Derbyshire Cave Rescue.
