T1230374341That Night Follows Day is a comical and poignant text written for performers aged 8 to 14. The work explores the ways in which adults' words and actions shape and influence young people's experience. Addressing the audience directly, a chorus of children explores and interrogates the range of advice, facts, truisms, white lies and excuses they hear from their elders. A rehearsed reading. Recommended Age: 16+Presented byForced Entertainment. Presented byWarwick Arts Centre. | |

T01120150143That 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.Company Forced Entertainment. | |

T1373678853In response to the request by Victoria to do a performance with children, Tim Etchells (Forced Entertainment) created That Night Follows Day, a piece of theatre with 16 children aged between 8 and 14 years old. It is the very first time Etchells has worked with a cast of young people, and it is interesting to note the similarities with, and differences, from his work with Forced Entertainment. For those of you who have followed Victoria’s work at Tramway, it is the second in a series of Victoria productions with children (but for an adult audience), which started with üBUNG by Josse De Pauw (2001). 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.
