Description
They were all in the pub when the explosion happened. Louise wakes up to find herself trapped with Mark, who has saved her life. Mark is always prepared for the worst and has everything he thinks they will need to survive; tinned chilli, Dungeons and Dragons and a knife - now all they need to do is to wait until it's safe to go outside. Can they survive the attack? Can they survive each other? After The End received its world premiere at The Traverse Theatre in August 2005.
After the End is a gripping play about personal and global anxiety by award-winning playwright Dennis Kelly.

Reviews
Debris positively busts with weird beauty... On this evidence Kelly is a talent to watch * The Times, on Debris *
We have a pool of amazingly talented playwrights in Britain, and we also have a quite separate talent pool producing comedy. There is very little dialogue between these two worlds, but Dennis is able to move very easily between them, and that is quite unique -- Mark Ravenhill
