AfterGlow : The Climax Is Just The Beginning

When Josh and Alex, a married couple in an open relationship, invite Darius to share their bed for a night, a new and intimate connection is ignited. As all three men come to terms with their individual definitions of love, loyalty and trust – relationships are challenged and futures are shaken.

A raw, funny and sensual exploration of polyamory, commitment and modern love.

After its critical success Off-Broadway and productions around the globe, Afterglow now brings its modern, intimate exploration of desire, honesty and connection to Melbourne and Sydney audiences!

Afterglow really speaks to our deepest desires which are directly connected to our deepest fears. Our deepest desire is to always feel connected, to feel heard, to feel understood, to feel loved and desired. That, of course, is connected to our deepest fears, which is abandonment and betrayal.” — Writer and director S. Asher Gelman
