Conversations After Sex

Anchored by a stunning, tour de force performance by Kate Stanley Brennan, multi-award-winning writer Mark O’Halloran and director Tom Creed (Trade, Best New Play, Irish Times Theatre Awards 2011) reunite for this funny, tender and brutally honest new work from THISISPOPBABY (RIOT, WAKE). U.S. premiere.
