Students from year 1 - 4 on the British Sign Language (BSL) and Deaf culture elective pathway and minor recently took a trip to Stanley Arts to view the Zoo Co production of ’Night Shift’.

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.

'While you sleep, millions of people are working. This is their story. 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. What follows is an epic tale of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, as an ordinary evening turns into an extraordinary night.

Featuring Zoo Co’s signature blend of ensemble movement, projection, sound and light, Night Shift is an unmissable theatre experience that will leave you wondering why the people and things we overlook are often those we rely on the most.'
