After the Ball is a play by Australian playwright David Williamson, published by Currency Press in 1997.

[1] Williamson wrote the play in response to his mother's death.

[2] The play is about Stephen, who has, with ill grace, returned home to his mother's deathbed.

As he and his sister rake through the family photographs and childhood memories, they find conflicting versions of their parents’ unhappy marriage.

The play was partly inspired by the death of Williamson's mother in 1995.
