Better Late

Directed by BJ Jones

Following his heart attack, Julian is forced to move in with his ex-wife and her new husband, providing a conflict of human but epic proportions. A funny and bittersweet story of intertwined extended families dealing with letting go of past relationships, Better Late explores the complications a lifetime of relationships can produce.

This bitingly funny exploration of aging, commitment and romantic responsibility pierces the heart of marriage and divorce.

Northlight Theatre Company from Chicago making their Irish debut in Galway for the European Première of a new comedy starring the inimitable John Mahoney and Mike Nussbaum. Written by Emmy and Tony Award-winning author Larry Gelbart of M*A*S*H; A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum and Tootsie; and the creator of TV’s Dirty Sexy Money! and screenwriter of Six Feet Under, Craig Wright.

“Overflowing with hilarious one-liners, satiric barbs on sex and marriage and golden-year gags , Better Late is a comedy riot.Mahoney is a serious, brilliant actor who gives the kind of in-depth, honest portrayal that has yo u empath izing with him as you hang on his every word.” Chicago Star
