Mother’s Farewell is the story of Jane Fallon, 97, and the last day she spends surrounded by her daughters, sister, and granddaughter — a fiercely loving and hilariously dysfunctional Irish Catholic family. It’s a heartfelt comedy filled with rosaries, wine, fights, laughter, prayer, and more wine — capturing the chaos, devotion, and grace that define family life at its most human.
As the women gather to care for their mother, long-held tensions bubble to the surface, faith is tested, and memories give way to moments of deep connection. What begins as an ordinary day becomes an encounter with love, forgiveness, and the mysterious beauty of letting go.
Both uproariously funny and profoundly moving, Mother’s Farewell speaks to a universal truth: one day, we all face the last goodbye.
Written by and starring Siobhan Fallon Hogan (Men in Black, Seinfeld, SNL), the play features a star-studded ensemble of celebrated actresses including Patricia Heaton (Everybody Loves Raymond), Laila Robins (Walking Dead, Tony-nominated Broadway veteran), Margaret Colin (Broadway veteran, Independence Day, Gossip Girl), Welker White (The Irishman), and newcomer Sinead Hogan (Shelter in Solitude).
With its blend of wit, faith, and heart, Mother’s Farewell is destined to be an instant favorite — a story that reminds us, with laughter and tears, that even in farewell, love endures.
