MILO’S WAKE

Milo O’Connor is alive and well. What better time for him to organise his own wake? It’s the one party he doesn’t want to miss—his loved ones singing his praises, their hearts full of tenderness and their jars of Guinness raised in a toast. In an Australian Irish pub, Milo’s family and friends gather together, along with a few uninvited family ghosts. What he’d planned as an evening of food, drink and rousing tribute rapidly takes on its own unpredictable life.
