Granny Jackson’s Dead… but her story isn’t.

Her family would like to invite all those who knew her (except the Kelly’s from the Glens, anyone from the council, Big Jim, Miss Gilmour, and Brendan – he knows what he did) to pay their respects and give her a good send off. She will be dearly missed by her devoted, adoring, clever, beautiful, hardworking, long-suffering, generous-to-a-fault daughter Susan, and by the rest of the family.

Catch this special presentation before the off-Broadway run at Origin First Irish with Granny Jackson’s Dead – named one of The Stage’s Top 50 Shows of 2024.

After two highly successful years as winners of the Theatre Innovation Award at the festival, we’re back with the wildest wake in town.

NOTE: 

  • This performance uses flashing lights, loud noises and immersive technology. Themes of death and grief.
  • Stairs are required to access the private home.
  • Granny Jackson kept a cat; the cat will not be present at the wake, but he has been in the rooms.
  • Exact address will be sent with your ticket receipt.

 

Duration: 70 minutes
