“Heartfelt and moving…After Sunday addresses important issues with humanity, empathy and humour. A thoughtful and compassionate debut.” –London Theatre
Ty, Leroy, and Daniel have signed up to join a new Caribbean cooking group led by their occupational therapist, Naomi. Believing in the healing power of food, Naomi hopes to encourage the men to talk and share. But when you’re locked in a secure hospital, too much food for thought can be a bad thing. As the hospital is filled with the evocative smells and tastes of home, they must all face the truth about who they are, and what they’ve done.
Funny and affecting, Sophia Griffin’s play After Sunday is a powerful examination of the intertwining lives of four people fighting for a better future.
“Fiery and intense…a pressure cooker of a debut.”
–Independent
“An honest, empathic portrayal of a world that is often hidden, misunderstood and misaligned, treating its characters not as case studies but as complex, complete individuals…a multilayered marvel.”
–WhatsOnStage
“Thoughtful, funny and moving…This is theatre that makes you laugh, maybe even cry, but above all, think.”
–Time Out
“A vivid picture of a system in crisis…Griffin’s play zooms in on what it’s actually like to exist in an environment like this. Banter and tension bubble between the group, and what seem like small things on the surface become monumental.”
–Guardian
“A compelling debut play, sometimes poignant, sometimes cheering…stunningly performed and admirably nuanced.”
–The Times
“A much-needed commentary on our country’s woeful approach to mental health…there’s wit, charm and a surprising amount of humour. The threat of violence, when it comes, is very real, too.”
–Everything Theatre
“Astounding…a moving, humane piece of theatre, one that will stay with you long after the final scene.”
–Reviews Hub
“Griffin weaves her characters together masterfully, unravelling their layers scene by scene…a heart-stopping debut play.”
–Theatre Weekly
“Heartfelt and truthfully drawn…astutely observed and full of warm humour.”
–The Stage
“Fascinatingly nuanced…an incredible debut play for Griffin, whose writing is nothing short of terrific.”
