Inspiration’s Edge Presents: Late Company 

What happens when grief, guilt, and accountability collide? Late Company, a gripping contemporary drama by Jordan Tannahill, explores the aftermath of tragedy as two families come together for a dinner fraught with tension, revelations, and the search for closure. This powerful play takes a raw and honest look at bullying, loss, and the complexities of human connection. 

One year after the suicide of their teenage son Joel, Debora and Michael Shaun-Hastings sit down to dinner with their son’s bully and his parents. Closure is on the menu, but accusations are the main course as everyone takes a turn in the hot seat for their real or imagined part in the tragedy. Blame shifts over the course of the evening from one person to the next, raising questions no one is prepared to answer.
