From acclaimed playwright Morna Young, After Party is a bold and life-affirming story about a life-ending decision, and our responsibility to others, in life and in death. Matriarch Vivienne Blackwood has always lived life on her own terms, much to the frustration of her fractured family. Summoning them for her 80th birthday party, they arrive expecting the usual family escapades. But as old tensions surface and beliefs collide, Vivienne’s reasons for gathering them soon unravels. She wants the party of a lifetime – but can her wayward family make it through the night? Sharp, darkly funny and unflinching.
