Production details
That Night Follows Day is based on a text by Etchells, and catalogues the many ways in which a child’s world is determined and controlled by that of the adults in their lives. With great clarity and humour it seeks to examine the systems of parenthood, upbringing, discipline, care and welfare that define our children and adolescents’ worlds. As is so often the case in his work, Tim Etchells continues to seek to turn the spotlight on the actual situation we find ourselves in, including the expectations and the problems of the performance presentation itself. In That Night Follows Day this revolves - playfully and provocatively - around the fact that adults will be watching and listening to children and adolescents, while they talk about the way adults project their world onto them.
