The soirée of the year … dark, decadent and delicious. A bespoke, multi-sensory and distinctly intoxicating experience, When Night Comes is an immersive performance for small groups that blends theatre and cocktails in a singular experience. Encounter tantalising provocations, empyreal characters and an alluring bacchanalian world, in search of amusements, treats, tipples and secrets. A hedonistic night out, where visions and sounds, smells and textures, tastes and feelings are conjured. Fortify your spirits and step inside . . . Afterall, every adventure requires a first step. Designed for small groups, this intimate theatre experience has a strictly limited capacity. Created by Broad Encounters, creators of A Midnight Visit, Love Lust Lost and Maho Magic Bar. "Broad Encounters has established the best sort of cult...anyone wanting to paint the town red should consider When Night Comes an excellent party-starter." The Age “The leading creator of exciting and thoroughly immersive theatre in Australia.” Arts Hub “The entire performance is a masterfully crafted experience.” Absolute Theatre
