Praise for When Night Comes
“When Night Comes is less about what happens than how it feels: decadent, destabilising, and deliciously unpredictable. It’s theatre as conspiracy, cabaret as ritual, and cocktail hour as performance art. Go prepared to play, to drink, to flirt with the absurd - and to leave wondering whether the secret society you joined will let you back in.”
- Time and Tide
“A fun and playful night, urging carpe noctem and an escape from the ordinary.”
- Megaphone Oz
"Anyone wanting to paint the town red should consider When Night Comes an excellent party-starter.”
- The Age
“The line between spectator and participant blurs amidst a swirl of cocktails and intrigue.”
- Theatre Travels
“Sets a new standard in immersive theatre.”
- Dance Life
“Moody, theatrical, and perfect for curious pleasure-seekers…a unique date night or an experience to spark conversation amongst friends (or foes).”
