The Wake of Yer Man

Set in the heart of rural Ireland in the mid-1990’s, The Wake of Yer Man is a poignantly dark comedy. The story centers around Polly Moran, a sassy 14-year-old girl, and her long suffering but ever undaunted mammy, Nancy.

The unexpected death of Jimmy O’Sullivan awakens unbidden events, as Polly and her school friends are haunted by the belief that their Ouija board session may have foreseen Jimmy’s demise. In the wake that unfolds, the community’s intricate web of relationships, jokes and unspoken truths finds an authentically vibrant voice which instantly evokes its period and setting.

Expect to laugh, expect to cry, ideally together.
