A Sleep of Prisoners

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

by Christopher Fry with a specially recorded introduction by the author.

During a war four men are imprisoned in a church: the place not only confines them but it influences their dreams. The rivalries, hatreds and loves that exist between them are revealed in their sleeping thoughts - their dreams are not an escape but a way in which they learn about themselves.
