A woman arrives back at her flat after another dreary day at work. She is depressed, weary and alone. One Dark Night follows her episodic journey through the evening and into the early hours mixing memories from her past, banalities of her present and dreams of the future. From sock sorting to soul searching, the protagonist and her chorus bring to life the all too familiar long dark night of the soul. You can watch some footage here:

Development performances of One Dark Night were presented at Greenwich Theatre’s Musical Futures Festival in June 2010 and at Tête à Tête: The Opera Festival at the Riverside Studios in August 2010 and 2009 with the following cast:
