After Party
Annie Lowry Thomas
An election plays out on a television.
A party plays out on Zoom.
A group of people come together in a darkened room.
Maybe they’re friends or maybe strangers, but nobody wants to go to bed and nobody wants to go home.
So they start talking.
After Party is an autobiographical performance of personal and political comedowns growing up in the aftermath of New Labour.
It begins with the election party Annie’s Dad threw in 1997, and reimagines possible parties from the past, present and future, all scored by a live DJ.
It's a show about late nights, early mornings, zoom seshes, party politics and men who let you down. It's about Britpop, Brexit, broken promises and 7am break downs. It's about Tony Blair and all of our Dads.
“Conner and I just work really well together. He has this natural ability to find and nurture raw talent. I call him the Brown to my Blair.”

After Party takes on a new charged relevance in a post pandemic world, where parties were prohibited (except in Downing Street) and politics feels hopeless.
What comes after the party, and what comes after that? You know what they say, things can only get worse...
After the Party was Hacks’ first fully funded project, and was supported by Creative Scotland, Tramway, CCA and Platform. Created during 2021, it premiered at Camden People’s Theatre 2021 Sprint Festival.
After Party is coming to Tramway on 25th & 26th May 2023. Book tickets here!
