A provocative and critically acclaimed play is set to captivate London audiences this spring, as Ye You Productions brings Mark O’Halloran’s “Conversations After Sex” to the Park Theatre from April 30 to May 17, 2025.

The play, which won Best New Play at the Irish Times Awards in 2022, promises an unflinching exploration of intimacy, grief, and human connection. Directed by Jess Edwards, known for her work at the Bush Theatre and New Diorama Theatre, the production follows a woman’s encounters with various men, delving into the complex emotional landscape of anonymous sexual experiences.

Actress Olivia Lindsay will take the lead role, bringing her extensive theatre credits to this challenging production. The play will be performed in the Park90 space, with evening shows at 7 pm and matinee performances on Thursdays and Saturdays at 3:15 pm.

“Conversations After Sex” offers a raw and introspective look at human vulnerability, exploring themes of loneliness and connection through a series of intimate encounters. The production promises to be both funny and painful, challenging audiences to reconsider their understanding of sexual relationships.

This marks a significant moment for Ye You Productions, a theatre company founded in August 2023 by Olivia Lindsay. Dedicated to promoting innovative new writing and elevating diverse voices, the company has already made waves with a sold-out show at the Marylebone Theatre in October 2023.

The play comes with an age recommendation of 16+, and a relaxed performance will be available on May 8 and 15. With a runtime of 1 hour and 25 minutes and no interval, the production offers an intense and focused theatrical experience.

Theatre enthusiasts and those interested in contemporary dramatic storytelling should note that press night is scheduled for May 2 at 7 pm. Tickets are expected to be in high demand, given the play’s critical acclaim in Ireland and Off-Broadway.

Park Theatre, known for its support of emerging talent and transfer of several acclaimed productions, provides the perfect venue for this thought-provoking piece of theatre.

For those seeking a challenging and intimate theatrical experience, “Conversations After Sex” promises to be a must-see production of the 2025 London theatre season.
