After Aulis

I can’t be the only one who wants
to meet someone?
Someone new.
And suddenly you are new too.
Your legs are new.
Your neck is new.
Your …. is new.
And you can be
anyone.

After Aulis is an award-winning black & blue multi-roling female monologue written to be performed in verse….and stilettos.

Inspired by Euripides’ Iphigenia in Aulis, this one-woman play explores the ageless moral decision: how far should you sacrifice your own life for those around you? However, this Iphigenia is no innocent victim: Nia’s a sardonic, self-obsessed adulterer, and she’s running away from all her responsibilities as fast as her heels allow.

“Heartbreaking and joyful”
“Funny, sad, and soul-searching. A must see!”
“Brilliant storytelling.”
“An acerbic and absorbing contemporary take on an ancient Greek tragedy. Emmeline Braefield revels in her portrayal of the main protagonist: hilariously callous throughout, yet at times deeply compassionate; all the while playing an array of identifiable supporting characters in this must-see one-woman show.”
