After Sunday

After Sunday by Sophia Griffin

Producer / October-December 2025
A Belgrade Theatre and Bush Theatre co-production

“Maybe that’s what cooking is, you know. Home in a pocket.”

Ty, Leroy and Daniel have signed up to a new Caribbean cooking group led by their Occupational Therapist, Naomi. Believing in the healing power of food, Naomi hopes to evoke memories of Sunday dinners at home with family, and to encourage the men to talk, share, and create something special together.

But when you’re locked in a secure hospital, too much food for thought can be a bad thing.

Over the weeks, all four embark on a challenging journey of self-discovery, where it’s not just the pans that threaten to boil over. As the hospital is transformed with the comforting smells and tastes of home, they must all face uncomfortable truths about the reality of who they are, and the things they’ve done that have led them to become trapped in the system.

Jake produced After Sunday as part of his Interim Producer role at Belgrade Theatre.
