Michael Flanagan’s play to be presented in Oak Park, Ill.

SMU Professor Emeritus Michael Flanagan’s play “Posthumorous” will be presented at the Village Players in Oak Park, Ill., on Nov 12-15, and Nov. 19-22.

“Posthumorous” is a comedy about a man who planned his afterlife and the afterlife he never planned.

It is a comedy of mistaken identity, silly funeral plans, and people who don’t know they are twins. Set in a funeral parlor in a mythical rural Minnesota town on the night man first walks on the moon, a comically nervously funeral director wonders, “Will it be just like the cartoons where the lovable old toy maker goes home at night, and the toys come to life? “

That funeral director is the kind of guy who leaves out milk and cookies for his “guests!”
