Nobody waits like Mulberry. Waiting is his hobby. He waits whenever and wherever he can.

Set in Donny (Doncaster) circa 1997, the story follows Lindsay Jenkins, a sharp-witted teen diving headfirst into the neon-lit euphoria of 90s club culture. Armed with Mad Dog 20/20 and her best friend Jen, she hunts for the ultimate high at Karisma nightclub while navigating a complex bond with her ex-miner father. The party is crashed by the reality of the UK's first heterosexual HIV cluster, turning the town into a media-fueled "hotbed of sin." Spanning three summers, the play tracks Lindsay's journey through grief, sexual health, and friendship as the bassline fades into the harsh light of morning. It serves as a gritty yet poetic tribute to northern nightlife and the resilience required to keep dancing when the world feels like it's ending.

How do you truly let go of someone when you imagined they'd be there forever?
