Overview

'Yuh got a whole life beyond here. Dis is just one part of it. It is a brutal part, but it's just one part.' 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 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. It was first produced by and performed at the Belgrade Theatre, Coventry, and the Bush Theatre, London, in 2025, directed by the Belgrade's Creative Director Corey Campbell. 'Tender and powerful... as emotionally striking as it is socially resonant... What sets this play apart is its gentle yet unflinching approach to complex themes... generously infused with moments of warmth, humour and humanity... 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
