Sophia Griffin’s After Sunday is now on stage at the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry ahead of its move to London’s Bush Theatre this November.
Ty, Leroy and Daniel have signed up to a new Caribbean cooking group led by their Occupational Therapist, Naomi. Believing in the healing power of food, Naomi hopes to evoke memories of Sunday dinners at home with family, and to encourage the men to talk, share, and create something special together.
Over the weeks, all four embark on a challenging journey of self-discovery, where it’s not just the pans that threaten to boil over. As the hospital is transformed with the comforting smells and tastes of home, they must all face uncomfortable truths about the reality of who they are, and the things they’ve done that have led them to become trapped in the system.
Corey Weekes stars as Ty, with David Webber as Leroy, Aimee Powell as Naomi and Darrel Bailey as Daniel.
Written by Griffin in her playwrighting debut, it is directed by Corey Campbell.
After Sunday plays Bush Theatre from Friday, November 10 to Monday, December 20. Tickets here.
