“It’s Friday, 5pm. The Streets’r tipsy with possibility, expectation… Everybody’s dreaming, beaming, getting steaming for the night ahead…”
A play, a poem, and a party.
This clubland coming-of-age story follows Lindsay Jenkins, a young Donny lass with an A in English, a thirst for hedonism, 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 spoken-word dance-floor euphoria.
Shortlisted for the 2023 Women’s Prize for Playwriting, 2024 New Diorama Untapped Award and inspired by the testimony of 30 people from Doncaster.
Supported by Arts Council England, Right Up Our Street, Cast and Stage One.
