AFTERGLOW
The UK welcomes off-Broadway “sleeper hit about sleeping around” Afterglow for a seven-week run this summer, and it’s ticking all our boxes. After grossing more than $1m (£764k) in a 69-seat (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) theatre during its extended New York run, it lands at the Southwark Playhouse, London, on 5 June. Written by S Asher Gelman, the play focuses on married couple Josh and Alex as they invite Darius into their open relationship one nfight. But as the trio’s connection transcends the carnal, they have to reckon with ideas of love, intimacy and commitment. The play features strong language and nudity, but we don’t suppose that will put you off!
