AFTER
ADAM
Two
estranged brothers must learn to cope with their father’s suicide.
Through all of the arguments and disagreements there’s a slow
realization that the enemy is…within. A dramatic meditation on
death, grief, and mourning and its cyclical nature this play is a vigil
to one man’s life and his self-fulfilling purgatory.
