After Easter

After Easter by Anne Devlin is a poignant, psychological play, a contemporary portrait of a woman who reaches that point in her life when she will either grow or fade.

Examines the personal and social backgrounds of Northern Irish citizens living in Ulster and on the British mainland. The play is not political, more psychological and humorous, offering a contemporary portrait of a woman who reaches an important turning point in her life.

After Easter is not a political play, rather a psychological play - inevitably funny. It is a contemporary portrait of a woman who reaches that point in her life when she will either grow or fade, when she will either continue to live in her lesser personality or make that inner marriage which will allow her to enter the mainstream of her larger existence, and, hopefully, swim.

The exile, Greta, having turned away from everything that once could have been called her identity - including her religion - allows the ghosts to call her home to the north of Ireland and to her family. In doing so she finds herself confronting the identity that she has wilfully excluded for so long.
