then after water

Available Light Theatre

An amazing and violent love story inspired by real events.

SHOW DESCRIPTION

Available Light, “Columbus's own theatrical force of nature" (Columbus Alive) presents then after water by Jennifer Fawcett. Inspired by real events, this 60-minute drama is an amazing love story about an act of violence that shatters 5 lives at once. Moving in time between 1979, 1980, and 1999, then after water tells the story of Ana and Ben, a young couple, who are suddenly separated while driving home from a party, and David, the couple’s son, who still struggles with the consequences of that night, 20 years later. Michael Grossberg of the Columbus Dispatch called it “one of the year’s best” and a “haiku-like production” about “the power or love and grief amid the unpredictable fragility of life.”
