After Sex
Izzy Parriss Productions and Three Sisters Productions are thrilled to present the world premiere of After Sex, a lyrical, charged, erotic two-hander which follows the trajectory of a couple through a series of post-coital scenes. From writer Siofra Dromgoole, this innovative production is about how the sex we have can change us: a love song to connection, and to people’s capacity to change each other’s lives.

With experimental staging, and a collaboration with intimacy director Stella Moss, After Sex pushes boundaries and challenges traditional narratives surrounding casual sex and abortion. Many peoples’ lives currently involve a string of short-term relationships: Dromgoole’s play explores intimacy and desire in the twenty-first century, attempting to find a new language for the ‘casual’ that doesn’t dismiss those experiences.
