The Society Hill cabaret has been turned into Rory's Pub, where as his final request, Charlie Lafferty is being waked, with his wife Kathleen, daughter Maggie, son-in-law Patrick, the village priest Father Pettigrew, his special friend, Molly; and his best friend Rory in attendance. Sing-alongs with the audience include: Whiskey in the Jar, Sweet Molly Malone, The Orange and the Green and When Irish Eyes are Smiling.
