A darkly comic, movement-led play about love working against the clock. When NHS call-handler Alice is swapped onto night shifts, her relationship with nine-to-five Ben begins to unravel. Using an inventive ensemble and striking physicality, the show explores exhaustion, intimacy and working whilst the world sleeps. Fast, funny and painfully human, this love story asks whether being loved means being seen and what happens when you disappear in plain sight. Perfect for afternoon audiences, Fringe romantics and anyone who has ever felt invisible at work or in love. Overnight.
