After the Ball

You’ve been away almost two years. I haven’t seen you, I haven’t hardly heard from you… I’m your wife.

Inspired by a true event, and spanning sixty years, After the Ball is a gripping ensemble piece about desire, personal responsibility and the devastating repercussions of human conflict.

 

✭✭✭✭ “Director Nadia Papachronopoulou’s new production of the play is a pleasure to witness; it stands out for its fresh and human take on a subject recurrently looked at from a distance” Cristiana Ferrauti, The Upcoming

 “a fresh take on the war genre; mixing tradition with modern interpretation. This concept is reflected not only in the choice of venue (Upstairs at The Gatehouse- an historical building that stages new writing), but also through complex female characters (a rarity in most war dramas), and a set design that merges the abstract with the traditional.” Chloe Hoey, Upper Circle

“The supporting cast do wonders, Emily Tucker and Jack Bennett sparky and enlivening in the recurring parts of family members, while Elizabeth Healey and Mark Carlisle bring neat characterisation to the smaller roles.” Melinda Haunton, View from the Cheap Seat
