Your life is a series of choices. For every path you choose, countless others remain untaken. Without realising it yourself, your most banal choice can end up changing your life forever. You’ll never know how your life could have been different. Never? Unless you end up in the midnight library where all the lives you didn’t lead are carefully kept by the librarian. There, you will have a chance to discover what was behind the other door.

This improvised play is inspired by the book by Matt Haig. Each show, we see a new protagonist trying out their shot at a new life. Will the clock keep ticking after midnight?

Midnight Library is a show format for the theatrical improviser that loves to ask the question: “what if?” Rehearsing this show format will sharpen two key skills: paying close attention to what you are receiving from your partners, and building lasting relationships between the characters. By playing from a place of calm and creating variations of our protagonist’s life, we can make the audience experience a wholesome show with drama and authenticity that warms their heart while making them smile and chuckle.
