What's it about?

Wild Nights Young Company
The year is 2624 and the residents of Dartmoor are living with the outfall of ‘The Event’, “when climate scientists accidentally triggered an ultra-reversal of temperature increases and plunged the planet into an ice age”. A group of teenagers who have grown up underground in bunkers are bored of their closed-in life. But are the rumours true… is the planet thawing and is life above ground becoming possible again?

Bright Nights Drama present
THE WINTER WISH
Upset by his brother and friend, Dart seeks comfort at the Wish Tree. But he wasn’t expecting what happens next! Join Dart as he learns that winter is a time to be with friends and family, no matter how much you’d like to hide away somewhere dark and warm…
