NHB Modern Plays After Sunday

Bol

A funny and affecting debut play about a group of patients at a secure hospital who embark on a journey of self-discovery through cookery. Premiered at Belgrade Theatre, Coventry, and the Bush Theatre, London, in 2025. '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.
