Afterplay

Have you ever imagined what happens in a character’s life after the story has ended? Celebrated Irish playwright Brian Friel does just that in Afterplay, an imagining of a meeting in a Moscow café between Sonya of Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya and Andrey of Chekhov’s Three Sisters, twenty years later. This two-handed character study set in a glass gazebo is a poignant meditation on the passing of time and combines humor with piercing sadness.
