Described as “a darkly absurd comedy”, Did You Hear About Erskine Fogarty? is set in Limerick in 2008 amid the recession.
Blindboy, a Limerick artist widely known as one half of The Rubberbandits, published Did You Hear About Erskine Fogarty? as part of The Gospel According to Blindboy in 15 Short Stories.
In a post on his Instagram story, Blindboy Boatclub shared a video of Robert Sheehan filming the scene, even giving his 203 thousand followers a glimpse of what it will look like, as seen from a monitor on set.
He captioned the video: “Filming an adaptation of my short story “Did you read about Erskine Fogarty” in Limerick today. With the brilliant Robbie Sheehan as Erskine”.
