Set in the port town of Dover, Mary Hussain (Joanna Scanlon) suddenly finds herself a widow following the unexpected death of her husband. A day after the burial, she discovers he has a secret just 21 miles across the English Channel in Calais. She sets off across the Channel to Calais to uncover the truth.

After Love is an accomplished, elegantly realised and insightful drama about the possibilities of connection across physical and cultural barriers. A remarkable debut, with a delicacy and tenderness that is testament to the quality of its writing and performances, Joanna Scanlan gives a quietly devastating performance.
