Written by celebrated playwright Paula B. Stanic, Night Shift is performed using an innovative combination of spoken English, BSL, visual vernacular and creative captioning. The play gives an insight into the often-overlooked lives of night workers.

Unfolding over a single night shift, an unlikely group of night workers, who have more in common than they realise, are embroiled in a life-changing series of events.
