About this event
A funeral home in Dublin. Carmel and Joe have arrived early to Joe’s mother’s wake. After twenty-four years together, they think they know each other inside out. But while they’re here to bury their dead, they begin to uncover secrets, lies and fantasises that they’ve kept hidden from each other.
Are we entitled to our own private life, secret even from those closest to us? Or in this age of curated online lives and fake news, is honesty all we have?
