The world premiere of Before I Sleep, commissioned by the Brighton Festival started yesterday.
Before I Sleep is a site-responsive promenade production inspired by The Cherry Orchard, specially designed for the former Co-operative department store on London Road.
The characters in Chekhov’s greatest plays inhabit a world on the verge of collapse. They look out to the future and wonder what life will be like in years to come, unaware that, for them, it is about to change dramatically and irreversibly. Their future is now our present.
132 (no less) of our mannequins have been integrated into the set design and we are very proud to be working with such an exciting production.
‘dreamthinkspeak is an extraordinary company.’
