About the Show

Four men confront truth, memory and healing through Caribbean cooking in a secure hospital ward.

In After Sunday, three men in a secure hospital join a Caribbean cooking group led by their therapist Naomi, who hopes food will stir memories and healing. As they gather each week to recreate the comfort of Sunday dinners, simmering tensions and buried truths begin to surface. With live cooking on stage, this powerful debut by Sophia Griffin explores guilt, identity, and the human need for connection and hope in the most unlikely of places.
