by Alun Owen
With Keith Barron as Terry O'Neil, Alan Lake as Joey O'Neil, John Roden as Billy O'Neil, Pearl Hackney as Hettie Magee, Ilona Rodgers as Judy

The old fella has died and his three sons who have led very different lives return home for the funeral. Now there has to be a new head of the family and the row over which one of them it is going to be leads to more than just strong words.

"'The Wake' crackled with life and colour, a catherine-wheel nailed spitting and sparkling to a familiar back-yard post." (New Statesman)
"Very impressive play... Alun Owen knows how to exploit tension to an alarming degree." (The Observer)
"The dialogue had all the liveliness one expects from him." (The Times)
