The Noble Fool Theater Company brings to Pheasant Run Resort & Spa one of the longest running shows in Chicago theater history, Flanagan's Wake. Join the villagers of the beautiful fictional village of Grapplin, County Sligo, Ireland as they tell tales, sing songs and mourn the passing of one of their own, Flanagan.You'll be transported to the Emerald Isle to grieve as only the Irish can. You can share tales of your own experiences and misadventures with dear old Flanagan, or simply enjoy the stories and songs of the locals as they recall life with "Himself."

Once you have arrived in Grapplin, you'll pay your respects to the glowering Mother and to poor grieving fiancée, Fiona Finn. Listen to a eulogy written by County Sligo's best-known writer, Mickey Finn, and tip a pint with Flanagan's best friend Brian Ballybunion, himself a weaver of tales.You can cross yourself with the blessings from St. Gregory's parish priest Father Damon Fitzgerald, or cross your fingers that local pagan Kathleen Mooney doesn't cast a spell on you. Mayor Martin O'Doul will preside over the proceedings with an iron hand (and a parched throat) as all try to decide what to do with the fabled Flanagan land.
