The grass hasn’t time to grow under Colin Morgan’s feet !!!
The Scavengers is described as a modern day ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ set in the Wild West of Ireland. It appears Colin’s role is Fergus Higgins. The story is, well … most unusual, and one can even see Colin in its pages, strange as that may seem from the brief introductory description of Bonnie and Clyde. You can read a more thorough synopsis at the following link. This is another one to watch with anticipation. It does appear one rather dark comedy … a favorite genre for Colin … and Colm Meaney as well. (‘Tis, perhaps, an Irish thing!)
