Theatre review: Conversations After Sex explores a world of hookups in modern Ireland
Kate Stanley Brennan in Conversations After Sex by Mark O'Halloran. Picture: Ste Murray
★★★☆☆
While Philip Larkin places heavy, ironic emphasis on the “ought” when he says “talking in bed ought to be easiest”, his poem does put it nicely when describing why that should, at least in theory, be the case. The shared bed, he writes, creates a “unique distance from isolation”.
