After People Like You – Location, Tickets
After People Like You is a simply staged play that takes place on a subway car at some point in a future New York City after an apocalyptic event. It’s never explained exactly what happened. The audience must piece together the backstory based on intermittent references to surges, waves, and toxic air. Whether the disaster was natural or man-made is also unknown, although one character joined the military following the incident and seems to have engaged in some type of combat. Service on the R train seems to have been largely unaffected.
The story isn’t focused on the larger disaster but rather the inter-personal conflict that developed in connection with the disaster between the two couples in the subway car. There’s a surprise ending that we won’t reveal but it is only fair to warn anyone with PTSD or subway-disaster-phobias, you should probably avoid this show.
