"Forerer After" is the name of the picture and it is one of the first shows that has come here in months that we felt deserved the label of drama. For this piece is real drama, drama that tears at your heart strings and then kids you into a subtle smile; drama that makes you want to weep and then dries up your tears with a side-splitting laugh.
