STAGED REHERASAL AFTER LIVERPOOL
by James Saunders
06. September 2020 we had a staged rehearals for a select and corona wary audience. We met a few mornings and a few evenings and explored the text. The work was very well received by the audience Norwegians and foreigners alike.
"It was very well presented, and very much appreciated by a non-norwegian speaking Oslo dweller" - Suze
"An intimate performance with strong links to own life" - Åsa
"Echoes forwards and backwards made it a complex and evocative" - Tormod

AFTER LIVERPOOL
We follow the couple
when they meet,
when they flirt,
when they fight,
when they despair,
when they want whats best for each other
even though that means
that they must let go
What does it really mean to love someone?
“After Liverpool” is a love story. Its a story of communication and miscommunication. Its a story of love, connection and disconnection.
Episodes from a couples life together are portrayed in a playful, musical and evocative manner by James Saunders, a playwright who is described as one of Britain's top absurd playwrights.
For this performace we have two couples: the younger and the older. This allows the audience to explore the relationship over time. Past, present and future flow into each other, and we see good times and bad times and the relationship between them.
