Theatre of Love presents the premiere of Day After Night, a new original pop-rock Musical written and composed by Benjamin Cleaver.

Harry has a dream. He wants a BABY. His partner David can't think of anything worse. He's more interested in the cute guy who serves him coffee. Blanche is an earth mother with performance ambitions. They're searching for love in all the wrong places.

Featuring a catchy and poignant original musical score, camp flair and lots of heart, Day After Night is about the quest for love expressed through the sometimes impractical desire for marriage and a baby.

Supported by Auckland Council Arts Alive, Get it on! & PledgeMe supporters.
