THISISPOPBABY presents
Conversations after Sex by Mark O’Halloran
Directed by Tom Creed

TUE 16–WED 17 MAY
Live at The Everyman

THISISPOPBABY brings Conversations after Sex, an award-winning play written by Mark O’Halloran, to The Everyman.

“You remind me of someone though. I mean you’re not like him. Not physically like him. Nowhere near. But there’s something there. Your voice or how you hold yourself. Your hands.”

In unexpected and unguarded conversations after anonymous sexual encounters, a woman discovers men with the same deep need to connect. 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).

WINNER Best New Play, Irish Theatre Awards 2021.

Funded by the Arts Council with support from Dublin Theatre Festival, Mermaid Arts Centre and Dublin City Council.
