Coachford Players present ‘A Wake in the West’ by Michael J.Ginnelly
This is a riotous comedy set on the South West Coast of Ireland. When Tom Healy passes away, his last wish is to be cremated and have his ashes scattered in the sea. His last request sends his family and neighborsinto a whirlwind of chaos. As they struggle to honorhis request, the wake takes unexpected and hilariously absurd turns. Misplaced dentures, excessive whiskey, and some truly unconventional problem-solving. Packed with quick wit and unforgettable characters, this comedic play is a heartwarming and side-splitting celebration of Irish humor, family bonds, and the unpredictable nature of life (and death).
