Night People

Night People takes us on a journey across the city of Edinburgh, introducing a cast of characters for whom there will be no sleep. Each of them is faced with a dilemma that ranges from the hilarious to the heartbreaking and they have until the next morning to make a decision that will change their lives forever.

Stewart is struggling to be a good, single Dad. He's just acquired a large, pedigree dog he thinks he can sell for £500 and so give his soon to be eight-year-old son the best birthday ever.

Matthew is a missionary to Scotland, all the way from Africa and guilty of the sin of pride. He meets Mary who will challenge and perhaps restore his faith, but it's going to take all night.

Thirteen-year-old David is on the run. He's waiting for the first bus to London. At the bus station he meets Josh, a world-weary seventeen-year-old rent boy who may be able to show him a new life.

Jane has been let down by her babysitter and has her five year old daughter Alison in the back of the taxi she drives for a living, though this is no ordinary taxi. She spins a fairytale to keep Alison amused, but finally has to decide just who she's kidding.

A blind man is struggling across the city on the last journey he promised to a dear friend. He runs out of energy and looks for a taxi, he finds Jane.

Night People brings together an exceptional cast of newcomers to tell a tale of hope.
