Audiences joined the villagers of the beautiful fictional village of Grapplin, County Sligo, Ireland, and told tales, sang songs and mourned the passing of one of their own, Flanagan.

Once in Grapplin, audiences paid their respects to glowering Mother Flanagan and to poor grieving fiancee, Fiona Finn. County Sligo's best-known writer, Mickey Finn, performed the eulogy, and folks tipped a Guinness with Flanagan's BFF Brian Ballybunion, himself a weaver of tales. Blessings were offered by St. Gregory's parish priest, Father Damon Fitzgerald, and local pagan Kathleen Mooney threatened to curse the congregation. Mayor Martin O'Doul presided over the proceedings with an iron hand (and a parched throat).

The show featured live piano by Jeffrey Michael Kauffman (Jekyll & Hyde), and the incredible improvisational talent of Samm Hill and Ruth Jenkins (A Drunk Christmas Carol, The Importance of Being Earnest), Darrell McGee (A Drunk Christmas Carol, Clue), Katie Mortemore (The Mousetrap, Clue, 101 Ways to Die in One Night), Ryan Ganguish (A Drunk Christmas Carol), Nathan Petts (Rumors), and Marietta Hedges (Radiohead Macbeth).
