Synopsis:
Two men live in the same apartment block. One likes long walks, Greek myths and foreign languages. The other likes making lists, fixing bikes and blackmail. One day they bump into each other in a local. Only this is no coincidence; one of them has been planning this moment for a very, very, very long time. Nocturnal explores the complex nature of friendship, stripping away to reveal the layers of polite behaviour to reveal the power struggles beneath human relationships.

Notes:
Original Playwright - Juan Mayorga. Way to Heaven has previously been produced at the Teatro Mara Guerrero, Madrid by the Centro Dramatico Nacional.
Synopsis:
Way to Heaven (Himmelweg) is based on the notorious true story of the Theresienstadt concentration camp, where the Nazis constructed a fake village to fool international inspectors and quell extermination rumors. Juan Mayorga's play begins years after the fact with an account by the Red Cross employee who was there, then leaps backward in time to show the creation and rehearsal of another very unusual play, one in which the Jewish prisoners are assigned roles (Mayor, Boy #1, etc.) and given lines to say to the inspectors. The façade, written by one of the most ironic figures ever to appear on a stage—a witty, cultured, humanistic Nazi Commandant—and the Jewish prisoner selected to play the Mayor, this 'play' will ultimately serve its purpose and the inspector will return with a positive review
