Lawyer Aaron (Russell Bentley) suffers a crisis of conscience after failing to help a man who later commits suicide. This is the event upon which solicitor-turned-playwright Andrew Olins builds his weakly plotted theme of redemption. Director Benet Catty guides a solid cast through the plot, which includes a Nobel Prize winner's rejection of Judaism. The New End survives, in part, on vanity productions - where authors pay to have their work staged. The best that can be said is that Life After is by no means the worst of them.
