We were invited to catch Children Of The Night during its run at Southwark Playhouse Borough.

“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.

Below are a selection of photos from the event but more content can be found on Instagram & TikTok.
