Most of AFTER takes place in near total darkness.

The darkness is intense. So if you’re thinking about going to see AFTER, but you experience moderate fear of the darkโ€”don’t go. You are not going to be okay with it.

That said, the technical merits of AFTER (which opens on Thursday and runs through Saturday) are jaw-dropping. Obie Awardโ€“winning writer and performer Andrew Schneider created this piece to challenge the senses of his audience, and with the help of his team (including his frequent sound designer, Bobby McElver) he created a wonderful play of senses, the loss of those senses, and what comes AFTER.
