After Life Post-Show Talk with the Creative Team | National Theatre

Bunny Christie (Set and Costume Designer), Jeremy Herrin (Director) and Jack Thorne (Writer) talk to Nina Steiger (Head of Play Development, NT) about After Life, their new production at the National Theatre inspired by Hirokazu Kore-eda's award-winning film.
The trio talk about creating a celebration of theatricality on stage, how COVID-19 limitations helped their creative process, and their favourite moments from the show. It poses the question: If you could spend eternity with just one precious memory, what would it be?

At the National Theatre in London, we make world-class theatre that is entertaining, challenging and inspiring. And we make it for everyone.
Headlong makes exhilarating theatre for audiences across the UK. A touring company with a big imagination, we interrogate the contemporary world through a programme of fearless new writing, re-imagined classics and potent twentieth-century plays.

Bunny talking about how the removed seats and added cabinets in the audience made the set "bleed out" off the stage and made it feel like we were all in the same room has put into words what I felt sitting in the stalls while watching this last July. It was a truly immersive experience unlike a usual theatre trip, and it was difficult not to be fully entranced with emotions of the characters due to it.
