GCSE results day 1997: Lindsay Jenkins - a young Donny lass with an A in English, a thirst for rave and £4.25 for the taxi home - embarks on her first PROPER night out. Armed with a bottle of MadDog 20/20 and her best mate Jen, Lindsay loses herself in the hedonism of Doncaster's infamous club Karisma. The bass drops. The strobe hits. This is freedom. This is everything.

But when chasing the high of clubland becomes all-consuming, and a national media storm erupts around the UK's first heterosexual HIV cluster, Lindsay must confront the brutal truths lurking beneath the bassline.

Written and performed by Danielle Phillips (Masters of the Air, Apple TV; Trying It On, RSC & Royal Court), directed by Kimberley Sykes (Piaf, Watermill Theatre; Romeo & Juliet, Regents Park Open Air Theatre) and shortlisted for both the 2023 Women's Prize for Playwriting & 2024 New Diorama Untapped Award, 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.
