Once Off Productions presents

Afterwards

by Janet Moran

Directed by Conall Morrison and Janet Moran

Three women in the immediate aftermath of a life changing choice. Set in the recovery ward of an abortion clinic in the UK, two Irish Women – one a married mother of three, the other, an eighteen year old on her first foray out of Ireland – and a young English solicitor spend a disorienting night together as they wait for morning.

Revelations, arguments, and silly songs take them to dawn as they look into a transformed future. Outside, the world keeps turning.

Afterwards is a timely new play exploring the consequences of Repeal the 8th, a culture-changing movement, while resonating internationally with the current turmoil surrounding reproductive rights worldwide.

Supported by Fishamble’s New Play Clinic and funded by the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon.
