What would you believe if the world you knew was gone?

In After the End, Dennis Kelly delivers a gripping, unsettling exploration of truth, control, and human connection at its most fragile. When Louise wakes to find herself locked in a bunker with a man who claims to have saved her from a catastrophic attack, reality begins to fracture—and trust becomes a dangerous game.

Performed by the Wac Arts Actors Company, this intense two-hander, performed by the whole company, will keep you questioning everything until the very end. Raw, thought-provoking, and disturbingly relevant, After the End is a psychological thriller you won’t want to miss.

How far would you go to survive… and who would you believe?
