See all- PLAY TimeLimelight Theatre, Wanneroo 6065AUD 27.00
If you enjoy live theatre … then … it’s PLAY time.
“The Viewing Room” is a comedy performed by the Limelight Theatre Company.
Synopsis: “What if after you’re dead & before you leave this Earth you are given the chance to speak with your loved ones. This is the underlying premise of ‘The Viewing Room’.
“Saying good-bye to the dearly departed has never been so funny in this comedy set in the viewing room of a Holyoke, Massachusetts, funeral home.
“When an estranged son returns home after years away, you’ll be surprised by who gets the last word. The show centres around a stern patriarch who has recently passed away before he’s had a chance to make amends with his very dysfunctional family.
“The play – while loaded with laughs – is timeless due to its themes of reconciliation and family.”
