Surprisingly,
there is a lot more to unpack AFTERGLOW than just, the gay lifestyle, open marriage, or sexual climax. The story might have the shock value of male, full-frontal nudity, but the more striking aspect is the deeply psychological and emotional issue of polyamory, that this narrative acutely addresses.
AFTERGLOW is exquisitely presented. Gelman’s writing effaces triviality while at the same time inserting shocking ideas, behaviors, and questions. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED @afterglowtheplay @HudsonTheatres @GiaMedia3 #theatre #theater #review
