Based on a true story, THE WAKE OF DORCAS KELLY brings the audience front and center as an intimate circle of mourners gather within The Maiden Tower brothel to hold a wake for beloved former madam Dorcas Kelly, while a riot rages outside on the streets of Dublin, 1762. As the night roars on, Dorcas' many well-kept secrets are revealed, and the mourner's adoration for their departed benefactress turn into questions about their own love, lust, fear, and anger.

THE WAKE OF DORCAS KELLY is the story of an executed brothel madam and the friends, family, and secrets she left behind. Sex, lies, murder, and the untold secrets of the dead are unearthed and exposed in this wild and gripping dark comedy.
