On the night of her 80th birthday, legendary actress Vivienne Blackwood gathers her fractured family at her grand country house for one last party. But this is no ordinary celebration. Viv has made a decision: tomorrow, she will die on her own terms. As champagne flows and secrets surface, old wounds reopen. Faith clashes with autonomy, inheritance with integrity, and love with resentment. With biting wit, theatrical flair and unexpected tenderness, After Party explores assisted dying, family loyalty and the cost of living - and leaving - truthfully. A darkly funny, unflinching drama about who owns a life, and how we choose to end it.
