After January - the play

Adapted by Philip Dean

Alex has eighteen days until he finds out if he got into Arts Law, a week in Caloundra to sleep, swim and watch the cricket, and a mother with a keen interest in his sex life. Fortuna keeps bees, has a nose ring, and a father who likes to do pottery in the nude. When this unlikely pair meet the results are both hilarious and heartwarming. And for both of them it means that things will never be the same after January.

Praise for 'After January'

"Very little escapes Earls's gentle, sardonic but tolerant view of human nature. This is a genuinely witty book."

Pam Macintyre, Australian Book Review

"a stunning novel ... This is one of those books that reaches all ages, a beautifully written, poignant tale of adolescent angst ... a little gem of a read."

Frances Whiting, The Sunday Mail

"Nick Earls's After January has reminded me what it is like to fall intensely, and requitedly, in love for the first time ... After January has, I think, oodles of credibility."

Nicola Robinson, The Australian

"a fine, subtly tuned story of a young man's three weeks in the brink of change in a sharply drawn world."

Sally McInerney, The Sydney Morning Herald

"An important new voice."

Agnes Nieuwenhuizen

After January was short listed for the 1996 talking book of the year (narrated by Rhett Warton), and was also nominated for QLD Clayton's Shortlist Event.
