Fuck John. Marry Kristin. Kill Julie.

The nouveau-riche daughter of a property mogul, Julie Chen, throws an after-party to remember. In the glittery afterglow of the ball, her desires unravel her, as she entangles with her dad’s driver, John, and his fiancée, Kristin, in an erotic power struggle inside the gilded cage.

Set in 2015, against Auckland’s growing housing crisis and festering xenophobia, Afterball is a darkly funny, sharp-tongued take on Strindberg’s misogynistic classic Miss Julie, relocating its dangerous game of desire, class and power to a glass-box Remuera mansion, where race, wealth and invisible labour shape who gets to hold power - and who gets to escape.
