The light must burn bright. Never again will the city return to the darkness of Before.

Over a century after the lights went out, the citizens of Goliath have never known darkness. Generators keep the sky illuminated and most are happy to play their part. However, photos of Before reveal an unfamiliar world and Yewsby dreams of seeing stars – whatever they were.

When a power cut hits and the lights of the city still remain on, Yewsby and their friends eagerly investigate, but find themselves entangled in a conspiracy of mammoth proportions.

Who really provides the power? Who does the city really depend upon? And what will it take to bring the truth into the light?

A post-apocalyptic political play questioning class, entitlement and sacrifice.

Macrobert Youth Theatre: Midnight Library
This surreal new play invites audiences into a hidden world within an ordinary library, and what begins as an innocent search for a book becomes a journey through shadow, wonder, and dread where escape is never certain, and the stories may consume more than you bargain for.
