Why did you start recording your sleeptalking? Well... it was quite quickly after we'd gotten together - you and I - that you told me that I slept talked quite a lot. And I... I thought "oh it would be quite nice to kind of hear what I say"... ... 'cause you telling me what I say is quite interesting. But then also it would be quite nice to get kind of an actual recording of it. And rather than leaving a big dictaphone right by your bed... ...there's this good app we got called Sleep Talk. And that picks up sound, activated... and it picked up any sound that you make...in the night. And it starts recording... ...then suddenly we brought up a whole load of - (Lillian laughs) ... yawn! Am I boring?

The first time my wife and I shared a bed I told her “I want to get in a wardrobe and take you to Elephant and Castle”. I was asleep.

Do you tell the truth when you talk in your sleep? Are sleep-talkers always on the verge of admitting some dark desire or, even more unthinkable, telling the person we share a bed with what we really think of them?

That’s the dangerous premise behind Elephant and Castle, a new, experimental show that springs from three years of recorded sleep talk.

From there, it becomes tender, funny, uncomfortable and dark too, as the mutterings never quite take the form of honest coherence. But does the incoherence conceal the truth? Is there something struggling to be said? Something perhaps that is painful and potentially disastrous for this relationship?

Using live music, song and verbatim sleep recordings, Elephant and Castle is a gig-theatre show about the joy and terror of sharing your bed with a sleep-talker.
