University of East London presents After Life by Jack Thorne. Directed by Jude Monk McGowan & performed by Level 6 Acting for Stage & ScreenAbout this Event
If you could spend eternity with just one precious memory, what would it be?
A group of strangers grapple with this impossible question as they find themselves in a bureaucratic waiting room between life and death. Encouraged by enigmatic officials, they must sift through their past lives to choose their forever.
Adapted from Hirokazu Kore-eda's award-winning film, After Life is a surreal and powerfully human look at the way we view our lives, and a haunting meditation on what it is to live – and to die.
Written by Jack Thorne from a concept by Bunny Christie, Jeremy Herrin and Thorne, After Life was first performed at the National Theatre, London, in June 2021.
It was directed by Herrin, in a co-production with Headlong, by special arrangement with Buena Vista Theatrical.
Now After Life is coming to Stratford Youth Zone on Thursday 25th & Friday 26th April, directed by Jude Monk McGowan and performed by University of East London's talented final year students.
