What's On

WHEN NIGHT COMES
 

Following sold-out seasons in Melbourne, Broad Encounters—the trailblazers of immersive theatre in Australia—are set to seduce Sydney audiences with their most daring creation yet. WHEN NIGHT COMES opens 22 August 2025 at the Union Bond Store, a sandstone heritage gem in The Rocks, headlining and presented in partnership with Sydney Fringe Festival and The Rocks precinct.

From the creators of A Midnight Visit, the large-scale gothic blockbuster that mesmerised Sydney in 2018, this brand-new production is an intoxicating blend of theatre, cocktails, and surreal storytelling—a rich, sensory experience designed to awaken all five senses. This is immersive theatre at its most decadent—a dark and playful invitation to step out of the everyday and into the extraordinary.

 

Set across multiple levels of the historic Union Bond Store, WHEN NIGHT COMES is part performance, part revelry. Audiences are invited into a dreamlike world and exclusive supper club, exploring intimate spaces and encountering a cast of enigmatic characters. Each room offers a new sensation—taste, texture, sound, scent, sight—curated to delight, inspire and astound.

    Steeped in meta-theatricality, A Mirror prompts us to reflect on the status of storytelling, of its place in creating a culture, its manipulation into myth, its power to prick and to prod.

    Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.

    There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.
