Because the Night

Because the Night is a landmark production of unmissable storytelling. An entire world has been constructed to explore. Whatever you choose, a story will play out around you of a regime on the edge of collapse.

Something is unfolding in Elsinore. There’s a vivid sense of an era ending, and a new age opening up. Inside the palace there are whispers – the King’s death, the grinning Queen, the agitated Prince – and the ancient forest is wild again, restless. It seems that everything is part of a broader picture, that no matter where you look, it will tell the whole wicked story.

Audience members are silent witnesses in the halls of power on a pivotal night in history. Venture deeper, listen closely, because the night will soon be lost, and all its secrets with it.
