“Dreams and nightmares are explored in this new podcast that comes with writing from Tim Crouch, Anthony Neilson, Vivienne Franzmann, Dipo Baruwa-Etti, Matilda Ibini and more, and which is produced by English Touring Theatre. The aim, with help from sound designer Max Pappenheim, is to create something both surreal and scary that explores the uncanny strangeness of what goes on inside our heads when we sleep. Or don’t sleep, which has happened to a large swathe of the population during lockdown. Paapa Essiedu and Amber James perform.”
