After August

Thinking & Feeling Theatre Company—Tom Hendry Warehouse

Haunted by regret and grief after the death of her brother August in the same crash she survived, we follow Avery as she navigates and tries to understand what her life has become. Written by Eve Ross Moore who also pays Avery, the spectre of August is convincingly realized, Ben Robertson playing the role extremely well in all three of its characterizations. At 70 minutes, After August more than earns it’s length, the relationship between Avery and her partner Elliot (August’s best friend) and their interactions with August needing room to breathe and deepen. The show comes with trigger warnings for a reason, but for anyone able to handle it, this is a fantastic watch.
