Set in a city that never sleeps, Night City follows three people pushed to their limits as they try to survive. Based on real experiences within the gig economy, it explores what it means to build a life in a world of insecure work; an ode to London and its invisible workforce. Told through the interwoven stories of a driver, a care worker and a waitress, the play captures a world of late-night rides and invisible labour. Jack chases money behind the wheel, Tamara tries to hold onto compassion in a care system under pressure and Riva arrives in London hoping to start again, only to find that the life she imagined is harder to build than she expected.
