National Theatre of Parramatta: Daytime Deewane
22 October 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm AEDT

Meet cousins Farhan and Sadiq. One quiet, one wild, both looking to escape.
Set in the legendary daytime raves of the 1990s, Daytime Deewane is a tender portrait of what it means to be torn between respect and rebellion. As the dance floor fills and the afternoon unfolds, Farhan is still clutching his school bag and how Sadiq got that Motorola flip phone is a mystery only he can solve.
The two young ravers open their hearts and stomp their feet as they try to figure out how to shake off their ancestral shame and be a good Muslim boy and a proper British man – and they’ve got until 6pm to figure it out.
