The Traverse Theatre, Paines Plough and the Belgrade Theatre today announce the full cast and creative team for After Party, a bold new play by award-winning Scottish playwright Morna Young (Lost At Sea, Never Land).
We are so thrilled to have brought together such a phenomenal Scottish cast and creative team for After Party. Morna’s play is bold, funny and full of heart, and it’s a joy to be bringing it to the stage with such a talented team of actors and so many brilliant collaborators. This feels like a really special moment for us in teaming up once again with our friends at the Traverse Theatre and Belgrade Theatre to make a show on such an exciting scale, while staying true to the intimate, human storytelling we love.
