55 minutesThistle Theatre
Following her recent breakup, disillusioned with love, life and the patriarchy, Juniper spends her wine-fuelled evenings pouring her heart out to strangers. What could be worse: a hideously awkward hook-up (who, despite his claims, is really not six-foot-two), a disastrous blind date, or an encounter with a misogynist explaining to Juniper exactly why she is ‘oppressed’? Despite the pleas of her best friend – the yoga-loving, herbal tea-drinking, crystal-worshipping Maddie – to ‘trust the universe’, Juniper is sceptical. Humorous, heartfelt, and relatable to just about anyone who’s had the misfortune of experiencing the modern dating scene.

About the show

Aftertaste is a new writing comedy-drama by Suffragette Theatre Company, performed at Thistle Theatre over 55 minutes. Following a recent breakup, Juniper pours her heart out to strangers over wine-fuelled evenings, navigating a hideously awkward hook-up, a disastrous blind date, and a mansplaining encounter. Her best friend Maddie — a yoga-loving, herbal tea-drinking, crystal-worshipping optimist — urges her to trust the universe. Age guidance is 16+; the show contains references to sex and alcohol consumption.

Why see this show?

A warmly relatable portrait of modern dating chaos — sharp enough to sting and funny enough to make you glad someone put it on stage. Juniper's disasters feel lived-in, and the friendship between her and Maddie gives the show genuine heart.
