'And now. Here I am. On the other side of the world. At this crazy hour. In a stranger's bed. And I'm happy now. I think so anyway.’
Sharp, poignant, and unflinchingly honest, Mark O’Halloran’s acclaimed drama won Best New Play at the Irish Times Awards in 2022 and now makes its London debut.
Unexpected encounters. Anonymous strangers in hotel rooms. Unguarded intimacy. When a woman in possession of her own sexuality meets a carousel of different men, she finds herself uncovering more than she expected. Grief. Loneliness. Promiscuity. Connection. It’s all here, in this startling play from award-winning writer Mark O’Halloran.
Directed by Jess Edwards (Elephant, Bush Theatre 2023; War & Culture, New Diorama Theatre 2023), this production presents a funny, sexy and painful story about the magic and loneliness of sex with strangers.
Conversations After Sex was first performed at the Project Arts Centre as part of the Dublin Theatre Festival 2021.
