In the Night Time, Nina Segal's unnerving two-hander currently making its UK premiere at Notting Hill's intimate Gate Theatre, is enough to put anyone off parenthood. Ben Kidd's production, a brisk hour of tired parents, screaming babies and repetitive, absurdist dialogue, is stuffed to bursting point with ideas. Some of the stick and some of them don't, but the snap and crackle of the piece, maintained throughout by two strong performances from Alex Waldmann and Adelle Leonce, is enough to prevent one from disengaging.
