Previous Shows
Since its creation in 2004, EverAfter Theatre Company has toured the following shows:
Home (2005/6)
Home is built from a collection of true stories collected from time spent by
the cast with homeless people. These stories are interwoven together during the play, showing a variety of experiences of the homeless
people, each reflecting different sides of life on the streets, hope, tragedy, joy, sorrow and so much more.
Through their experiences, the show wrestles with many of the big issues of life which affect us all including faith, love, laughter, forgiveness and life after death.
Amongst others you will meet Lukas who is eternally optimistic, Fiona fighting drug addiction, Adam trying his hardest to give up hope, Rick who finds a new life in a surprising way, Tony who is caught between tragedy and hope and Little Ronnie who is never seen without polished shoes and a tie.
'Home' is both hard-hitting and hopeful; full of humour and humanity, it is a piece of theatre which not only entertains but also challenges perceptions, breaks prejudices and asks the question of us all, 'what does it really mean to be homeless?'
Home toured twice, October - November 2005 and February 2006. Read reviews and audience comments on the Press/Public page. As well as churches, the first tour of 'Home' visited secondary schools and homeless shelters.
Credits: Written and directed by John Newton Webb, devised by John Newton Webb and Rose Patrick. 2005 tour performed by John and Rose, 2006 tour performed by John and Sally Okafor.
Into the Wild (2004)
Step 'Into the Wild' with a collection of four beautifully and hilariously retold animal stories. In both well-known and lesser known
tales, you'll encounter many astounding characters from the Animal Kingdom and their fascinating adventures, each teaching us something
about life. Thrill to these amazing exploits brought to you through poetry, physical comedy and interaction, all accompanied by a
skilfully constructed live soundscape of music and sound-effects.
Credits: Written and directed by John Newton Webb (additional material - Robert Browning); Music composed and performed by Rhydian Caines; Show performed by John and Rhyd.
GREAT ESCAPES! (2004)

armour? Find out the answer to these questions and many more with these well known stories from the Bible - packed full of humour,
tension, slapstick and fun, it's even educational! Captivate your children's attention, inspire their imagination and enrich their
learning with this exhilarating piece of theatre with music.
