Thea is freshly 18 and eager to work as a bartender at her local nightclub. Nike is the head bartender with dreams of spreading her wings and seeing the world but is burdened with responsibility and financial troubles. Dion, the general manager of the venue, has his eyes set on Thea, while Lachie, a fellow bartender, is a romantic after Nike's heart. This show has flair, drama, comedy, physical theatre, and, for those lucky enough, a free shot.

About the show

After Four AM is a new writing show from After Four AM Productions set in the world of a late-night bar. Thea is eager to start work as a bartender at her local nightclub, while head bartender Nike dreams of something bigger. Meanwhile, the general manager has his eye on Thea, and a fellow bartender pursues a different kind of connection. This is a show with flair — blending drama, comedy and physical theatre into a vivid portrait of night-shift life and its complicated relationships.

Why see this show?

Slick, theatrical and buzzing with energy — After Four AM mixes physical theatre with sharp new writing and a cast of characters you'll be rooting for and worried about in equal measure. A bold, ambitious show from an amateur company that clearly has something to say.
