After Sunday

From Fri 10 Oct View Venues, Dates & Times

“Maybe that’s what cooking is, you know. Home in a pocket.”

Written by Sophia Griffin. Directed by Corey Campbell.

Ty, Leroy and Daniel have signed up to a new Caribbean cooking group led by their Occupational Therapist, Naomi. Believing in the healing power of food, Naomi hopes to evoke memories of Sunday dinners at home with family, and to encourage the men to talk, share, and create something special together.

But when you’re locked in a secure hospital, too much food for thought can be a bad thing.

Over the weeks, all four embark on a challenging journey of self-discovery, where it’s not just the pans that threaten to boil over. As the hospital is transformed with the comforting smells and tastes of home, they must all face uncomfortable truths about the reality of who they are, and the things they’ve done that have led them to become trapped in the system.

This affecting debut play by Sophia Griffin examines the intertwining lives of these characters, as they grapple with the situation in which they find themselves, and the need to find hope for a better future.

After Sunday will be directed by Corey Campbell (Freeman, Fighting Irish, Big Aunty, Romeo and Juliet) and features live cooking on stage.

There will be a post-show discussion on Thursday 23 Oct.
