Nightshifting:
Programme Notes and Credits
Because of the character of the contract we have entered into, the rules one would normally associate with the theatre will not necessarily apply here tonight. Due to the nature of the performance, it is not required that you watch this show as you would watch any other piece of theatre. This is no "any other piece of theatre."
It was developed around the structure of "A Midsummer Nights Dream" [...] Shakespeare's play weaves its way through the performance, and through the night. The concepts concerning vigils and rituals also appear [...].
This evening's performance was also developed around the reality of twenty-four hour television programming. Colloquially, this means that we have taken the genres one is able to find on television throughout the night, and transferred them into a theatrical format. The performance is also based around life, what an average person might be found doing over the course of the twelve hours [...].
This evening offers you the privileged position of being a spectator into the transition between process and performance. These elements will not tonight, be separated and will be observed concurrently.
