After Party
World Premiere | Traverse Theatre in co-production with Paines Plough and the Belgrade Theatre Coventry by Morna Young, directed by Katie Posner, idea conceived by Alex Fthenakis and Morna YoungAbout
Matriarch Vivienne Blackwood has always lived life on her own terms; much to the frustration of her fractured family.
Summoned for her 80th birthday party, they arrive expecting the usual family shenanigans.
What they’re not expecting, however, is Viv’s announcement that tonight is much more than a birthday party – it’s the celebration of a lifetime.
Because tomorrow, Viv will die… and she wants her whole family at her side.
With biting wit and unexpected tenderness, After Party by award-winning Scottish playwright Morna Young is a bold, life-affirming story about a life-ending decision.
After Party is part of the Traverse's £1 Ticket Project.
