Coming soon- images from DOT Ensemble’s production in Thessaloniki Greece.
Claire Leverrier, a poet haunted by the death of her childhood crush, reveals the secrets of the universe using science, myth, and maybe a little bit of magic. “The Afterparty” is a romance. Or is it a metaphor? Either way, Claire might never recover once a star steps down from the sky and invites her to a party.
“Weird, beautiful and unforgivingly artistic, The Afterparty invites Austinites to drink from the astral cup and remember the one that got away.”
-Broadwayworld.com
“We’re invited to hobnob with history’s great minds up on the astral plane…. [The Afterparty] brings mythology and science into a stage work that is cosmic in scale.”
-The Austin Chronicle
“Hardy takes us to the end of the play through a starry sky of metaphor…In “The Afterparty” the love and fascination with which we look up at the stars are but a small return of that which shines down on us.”
-CTX Live Theatre
