AFTERWARDS
byJanet 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.

Premiered September 2024 at The Abbey Theatre as part of Dublin Fringe Festival.

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

“Impeccable performances and crackling dialogue in a play with an unmistakable purpose”
