Danny's Wake

Work:: Danny's Wake (S01639749690)

Patrick and Billy are old friends. They haven1t seen each other since they were at school. Patrick has married and moved away. Billy has stayed, married and divorced. Patrick is a teacher. Billy is a plumber. They have nothing in common but their childhood. But they have to spend the night together as they are the only guests at Danny1s wake. Danny was their mutual friend, the Third Musketeer. He is dead and lying in the coffin on the sideboard. As the hours pass, it becomes clear that Patrick1s misty-eyed memories conflict with Billy1s recollections of their childhood days ... A bottle of vodka later and old wounds are opened, current worries are shared and pizza is eaten.
