Beschreibung
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. 'A compelling vision of eternity' - The Times 'A powerful show with subtlety and tenderness' - The i 'A great idea, charmingly done... Although After Life is based on a film, its best parts are pure theatre' - Guardian 'Miraculous... an absolutely superb play... I was incredibly moved by it... a properly transcendent piece of theatre' - Time Out
