gain another layer

Hi,

Could you please, help me find better solutions:

1) XY crew gained another layer of friendship: the one that 2) drives restlessly through the night, often ending in the small hours and thus connecting the days, time and space 3) creating new and unexpected ties on the path to the creation of a new theatrical happening.

(2. the author wants to say that they spent time together after the shows, even late in the night when they should be resting. I'm also not sure that restlessly makes any sense here, perhaps the author wanted to say relentlessly)

Thank you

Here's how I might say it: 1) The XY crew found that their friendship was both reaching a new level and 2)continuing through the late hours of the night.

Also, "restlessly" does indeed make sense.

None of what you've written is incorrect, Antonia. However, to give it a bit more polish, I would alter it like so:

The XY cast found that their friendship was reaching a new level and, continuing through the late hours of the night, it helped them form deeper connections and better chemistry on the stage.

Still, I think that "continuing though the late hou
