Children Of The Night at The Rep

A Play, A Poem, and A Party

A clubland coming-of-age story, Children of the Night follows Lindsay Jenkins, a young Donny lass with an A in English, a thirst for rave and £4.25 for the taxi home.

Amidst the chaotic finale of 90s nightlife, the backdrop of post-Thatcher Britain and during the UK’s first heterosexual HIV cluster, Children of the Night is a love letter to the working-class cultural pulse of the North, mixing kitchen-sink drama with dance-floor euphoria.
