Flanagan’s Wake is the hilarious
interactive Irish wake that has been running in Chicago for
11 smash years! Flanagan’s Wake is one of the longest-running
shows in Chicago theater history. When will it end? According
to Brian Ballybunion, Flanagan’s best friend and drinkin’
mate, “We’ll keep waking him until we get it right.”
Join the villagers of the beautiful fictional village of Grapplin,
County Sligo, Ireland, as they tell tales, sing songs and mourn
the passing of one of their own, Flanagan. You’ll be transported
to the Emerald Isle to grieve as only the Irish can. You can
share tales of your own experiences and misadventures with dear
old Flanagan, or simply enjoy the stories and songs of the locals
as they recall life with “Himself.”
