A clubland coming-of-age story. “It’s Friday, 5pm. The Streets’r tipsy with possibility, expectation… Everybody’s dreaming, beaming, getting steaming for the night ahead…” This heartpounding story follows Lindsay Jenkins, a young Donny lass with an A in English, a thirst for hedonism, and it’s exactly £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.
