Synopsis
"The most distinctive, the most restless, the most obsessive imagination at work in the Irish theatre today" Brian Friel
The Wake recounts the story of a woman, returning from the USA to her home town in Ireland.
As her family learn of her years as a prostitute, she learns their attitudes and Irish society in general.
A homecoming play, haunting yet fiercely comic.
