About Afterglow

When Josh and Alex, a married couple in an open relationship, invite Darius to share their bed for a night, a new and intimate connection is ignited. As all threemen come to terms with their individual definitions of love, loyalty and trust– relationships are challenged and futures are shaken. A raw, funny and sensual exploration of polyamory, commitment and modern love.

The stellar cast of three comprises JulianCurtis (Gaslight, Cock, Dance Academy), Olympic goldmedalist Matthew Mitcham (Strangersi n Between, Jock Night, The Pool )and Matthew Predny (Titanique, Avenue Q, Kinky Boots).

After its critical success Off-Broadway and productionsaround the globe, Afterglow nowbrings its modern, intimate exploration of desire, honesty and connection toMelbourne audiences!
