Tuesday 19th August 2025 - 7.30pm
Upstairs at the Gatehouse, Highgate
The problem with living as though nothing matters is that one day, something might.
From writer Christian Smith, new play It’s Not Dark Yet comes to Upstairs at the Gatehouse for one night only.
Directed by Eliza Shea, Silk Street Productions presents the first publicly-staged reading of this gripping piece of new writing, which explores the unpredictable nature of actions and consequences.
The semi-staged performance will be followed by a Q&A session during which audience members are invited to give their feedback to the cast and creative team.
ABOUT THE PLAY
It's Not Dark Yet by Christian Smith
Directed by Eliza Shea
When Jas, a nervous and married man, is wilfully seduced by the chronically bored and beguiling Kate, a disastrous chain of events is set in order. It’s not until Kate’s boyfriend Pete is on-stage stripping for the great and good of Soho that anyone realises what’s going on. To the plaintive refrain of Murder on the Dancefloor, Pete watches on - helpless and mid-helicopter - as Kate and Jas disappear together. He doesn’t take it well, but just how far will the ripples of their actions travel?
