Mammy’s had a heart attack.

Leslie is in denial.

Cinnamon doesn’t care.

Neil just wants to dance.

Estranged sister John is uncomfortable with all of this.


Funeral preparations are underway. All that’s left to do is pull the plug and wait for Mammy to die. Tempers flare and bad habits resurface as relationships disintegrate.

From award-winning writer, Ciara Elizabeth Smyth comes We Can’t Have Monkeys in the House, a new absurd comedy about tragedy, regression and death.

All the fun stuff.
