Description
A group of strangers find themselves in a waiting room between life and death, forced to confront their past lives in order to choose their forever. Encouraged by enigmatic officials, they sift through memories to select one precious moment that will sustain them for eternity. This surreal and powerful exploration of human existence is adapted from the award-winning film of the same name. Written by Jack Thorne, it offers a haunting meditation on what it means to live - and to die. First performed at the National Theatre in 2021, After Life is a thought-provoking drama that raises fundamental questions about our relationship with memory and mortality.
