Episode 1 of 4

EPISODE SUMMARY: Sylvia has just moved in with her boyfriend Ryan. She falls asleep thinking about a troubling phone call with her mum, Nora. In her dreams Jim, her personified subconscious, points out she might just be in a dream and joins her on the adventure. Sylvia’s convinced she has a problem to solve but Jim just wants her to have fun. Sylvia becomes obsessed with "figuring out" the dream puzzle; is it about her concerns moving in with Ryan? Or is it all about gender roles? Or is her real problem a little closer to home?

Starring Juliette Burton, Matthew Crosby, Sooz Kempner, Rob Frimston, Angus Dunican.

Episode 1 – ‘Move’ (recorded in April 2020 remotely during COVID19 lockdown). Created by Juliette Burton. Written by Juliette Burton and Liam Beirne. Produced by Juliette Burton. Edited by Frankie Lowe. Recorded remotely.

Cast:

Juliette Burton as Sylvia – she’s worried about being worried and overthinks about thinking. The only break she gets is in her dreams…where she’s worried about what on earth is happening.

Matthew Crosby as Jim – Sylvia’s personified subconscious. He just wants to have fun/be friends.

Robert Frimston as Ryan – Sylvia’s boyfriend. Simple, dependable, you can always rely on Ryan to nurse it better. Of course in her dreams, he’s somewhat different.

Sooz Kempner as Nora – Sylvia’s caring, loving mother… in her eyes. To Sylvia she’s overbearing, interfering and archaic with ridiculously high standards. And in Sylvia's dreamworld, she does have a habit of becoming odd animals.

Angus Dunican as Announcer – your weekly cheeky introduction and fond farewell to wish you Sweet Dreams
