A western wake in Aughawillan

The Aughawillan Drama Group is presenting its production of ‘Wake in the West’, which takes place in Aughawillian Hall tonight - Saturday, May 27 - and Sunday May 28.

The comedy features the going of a small village in the west of Ireland as they prepare for the wake of Tom Healy, a beloved member of their community. However, things take an unexpected turn.

The play's three-act structure, sharp wit and cast who al hail from Aughawillan and the surrounding areas have all garnered praise from audiences and critics since it first debuted in Westport, Co. Mayo.

Curtains are at 8.30 pm each night. To book call or text 087-6486804.

Payment can also be made in cash at the door on the night itself.
