A basement in Sligo town. An embalmer and a mysterious stranger. One wants to disappear; the other is desperate to be remembered forever.
Mr. Bergmann of Deadman’s Point is a new play based on the extraordinary true story of the so-called Peter Bergmann, Ireland’s most famous unidentified man. Bergmann spent three days in Sligo town deleting himself, and was later found deceased at Rosses Point, Co. Sligo.
A mysterious and comic tale which explores legacy, reputation, and what it means to live close to death.
Written and performed by Ronan Dempsey in association with the multi-award-winning Nth Degree Productions.
