Getting a job is hard. It’s especially hard when you have an arts degree, don’t know what sort of work you want to do, have vague notions of grandeur and can’t pay your rent. After Careful Consideration explores the experience of four friends thrust into post university life, where secret romances, jobs, lack of jobs, jealousy, uncertainty and ultimately an inability to match each other's ideas on how to live a good life leads to breakdown. Brought to you by JumpShip Theatre.

About the show

After Careful Consideration is a theatre and comedy show by JumpShip Theatre, exploring the messy reality of life after university. The play follows four friends thrust into post-university life, navigating secret romances, jobs (and the lack of them), jealousy and uncertainty. As their differing ideas of how to live a good life pull them in incompatible directions, relationships begin to break down. The show runs for 50 minutes at Theatre 1, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.

Why see this show?

A relatable portrait of the gap between who you thought you'd be and who you're becoming. JumpShip Theatre captures the specific awkwardness of early adulthood with honesty and wit.
