We Hate To See You Go

One-Act/Dark Comedy 3m 2f

We hate to see you go
We hate to see you go
We hope to hell you never come back
We hate to see you go

An Irish wake.
A reluctant corpse. A few drinks. A few laughs. A few tears. Some bickering. Some fighting.
An Irish wake.

Seasoned playwright Michael McGrinder is at it again, this time calling on (some would say calling out) his Irish heritage and its peculiar relationship with death and all the contrariness that attends it.

McGrinder's exquisite craftsmanship is at play here as he balances the outrageous with the subtle, the laughter with the tears, the hypocrisy with... well, with itself. As always, he offers us delightful entertainment. It's no wonder We Hate To See You Go continues to be one of his most popular plays.
