When We Wake Up Dead Dennis A Allen

"It's always death that brings about change in the world," says ailing patriarch

Uncle Cecil, who will leave in his wake a suicidal child, a woman in deep

mourning, and a devastating family secret. When the family comes together

to say goodbye, his dying sets in motion events that will change their worlds

forever. When We Wake Up Dead is an exploration of grief, mental illness, and

the fragility of familial bonds. In this play filled with moments of tenderness

and vulnerability, we're reminded how the past can forever haunt the present.
