After-play

What if Sonya — the heroine of “Uncle Vanya” and Andrew from “The Three Sisters” met many years after the events known from Chekhov's dramas?

In his play, Brian Friel continues their story with extraordinary tenderness, humor and insight, creating a story about people who, despite life's disappointments, are still trying to find peace, tenderness and meaning. In the conversation of the heroes, echoes of unfulfilled dreams, silences and petty lies are heard, which over time have become an indispensable element of survival. But “Afterplay” is not just a nostalgic throwback to the past. It is a tragicomedy full of subtle humor and brilliant dialogues about a second chance — to understand and be really close to the other person.
