The villagers have gathered to grieve as only the Irish can – with a quick stop at the pub first. The characters are all local residents who know Flanagan in one capacity or another, including his aged mother (who can only speak Gaelic), his fiancée (of thirty years), the village priest, and the town mayor (who also happens to own the pub where the memorial is taking place). Each character participates in this partially improvised comedic memorial to Flanagan with plenty o' pints, crazy sing-alongs and witty tales based on audience suggestions. The show was one of the longest running shows in Chicago.
