In new after hours listening on Radio 4, the team behind Wireless Nights present three acoustically rich journeys through three long nights of the soul. Nights that left an indelible mark on the storyteller.

Time stretches out in the early hours. The space between sleep and wakefulness is alive with possibility. Fears and anxieties are projected in lurid hues, distorted, outsized. Dreams fade in and out. The real and the imaginary blur.

Tonight, actor Jonathan Forbes recalls a night he spent on a friends sofa when he awoke to find a man staring in at him through the window. An unexpected power exchange takes place as he works out what to do about this unwanted Night Vision.
