Night Shift at Stanley Arts Centre

Following last year’s award-winning Perfect Show For Rachel at the Barbican, the acclaimed Croydonbased theatre company Zoo Co return with Night Shift at the Stanley Arts Centre. This new production, written by Alfred Fagon Award winning playwright Paula B Stanic, tells the story of a group of night workers who, while most of the population sleep, are forced together for one life-changing night shift. What unfolds over the course of a fateful Croydon evening is an epic tale of ordinary people doing extraordinary things which questions why society often overlooks the people and things we rely on the most. Night Shift will feature Zoo Co’s signature blend of ensemble movement, projection, sound and light, and each performance will be performed using innovative combinations of spoken English, BSL, visual vernacular and creative captioning. The production is part of This is Croydon, a London Borough of Culture initiative for 2023.

All Zoo Co performances are relaxed and all performances of Night Shift are creatively captioned, use BSL and are suitable for deaf and hard of hearing audiences. The performance on Friday 24 November is audio described.
