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!”
