S. Asher Gelman’s international hit play Afterglow is heading to Melbourne for its highly anticipated Australian premiere!

When Josh and Alex, a married couple in an open relationship, invite Darius to share their bed for a night, a new and intimate connection is ignited. As all three men come to terms with their individual definitions of love, loyalty and trust – relationships are challenged and futures are shaken. A raw, funny and sensual exploration of polyamory, commitment and modern love.

The stellar cast of three comprises Julian Curtis (Gaslight, Cock, Dance Academy), gold medal winning Olympic diver Matthew Mitcham (Strangers in Between, Jock Night, The Pool) and Matthew Predny (Titanique, Avenue Q, Kinky Boots).

After its critical success Off-Broadway and productions around the globe, Afterglow now brings its modern, intimate exploration of desire, honesty and connection to Melbourne audiences!
