An international hit, Afterglow, by S. Asher Gelman, is to return for a second London season.

Josh and Alex, a married couple in an open relationship, invite Darius to share their bed for one night. When a new intimate connection begins to form, all three men must come head to head with one another’s notions of love, intimacy, and commitment.

Afterglow will run at Waterloo East Theatre, Brad Street, London, SE1 from Thursday 17 October to Sunday 24 November.

Press night: Tuesday 22 October at 7.30pm.

Cast to be announced.

Afterglow “a steamy stripped-down look at gay intimacy’ (Huffington Post) premiered in the UK at Southwark Playhouse where it was seen by over 8,000 people, following after a multiple-extended hit run Off-Broadway, where it sold 23,000 seats in a 69-seat theatre and grossed over $1million.
