Review: WAKEY WAKEY is a Poignant Look at End of Life
by James Lindhorst - Aug 1, 2026

Eno’s end of life play is thoughtful and funny while avoiding morbidity. There is no fourth wall. The direct address monologue is a unique narrative structure that is rarely used by playwrights, but a style of storytelling that’s often staged by The Midnight Company (Thom Pain, The Absolute Brightness of Leonard Pelkey, Now Playing Third Base for The St. Louis Cardinals…Bond, James Bond.) A play that is primarily a monologue is in Hanrahan’s wheelhouse as an actor. He and Schwetye have collaborated to stage a poignant reading of Eno’s off-kilter script.

One of these shows is playing right now, and is a major theatre success story with off-off-Broadway roots!
