Description

Im just worried because I think what Im being turned on by is the fact that youre imagining a stable future with me, whereas what youre being turned on by is the potential potency of your own sperm. Theyre on the same page. Its just sex. It doesnt have to be complicated. Anyway, it wouldnt work. He hates kissing in the morning. She killed her guinea pigs. He doesnt speak to his dad. Theyre totally different people. Its just sex. A lyrical, charged, sharply observed and genuinely erotic two-hander, Siofra Dromgoole's After Sex follows the trajectory of a couple, told almost entirely through post-coital scenes. Its about how the sex we have can change us: a love-song to connection, and to peoples capacity for changing each others lives. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at the Arcola Theatre in July 2024.
