Night Light 6 - 8 Oct 2018

A magical and poetic journey through the night, exploring children’s relationship with light.

The blackbird sings to welcome the night.
The day slows, and soon all are asleep.
All except one who cannot sleep.
A child, curious to know who looks after the night.

And so begins a magical journey through the dark and beautiful night until the blackbird sings again to welcome a new day.

This is a welcome return to the Theatre for Children Season following previous appearances for both Andy Manley (White, 2012) and Teater Refleksion (The Way Back Home, 2014).

Part of the Theatre for Children season in Dublin Theatre Festival 2018
