A Sleep of Prisoners byCHRISTOPHERFRY
During a war four men are imprisoned in a church: the place not only confines them but it in'fluences 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.
The play was recorded in St John The Baptist Church, West Wickham, Kent
