Falling

Between the Ears

Available for over a year

Between the Ears in miniature returns with new short works themed around Midsummer Dreaming. Airing in the run-up to our dream-like night of adventurous radio, featuring treasures from the Âé¶¹Éç Radio 3 archives from sunset until sunrise on the summer solstice. Falling is a journey to the edge of sleep, where consciousness loosens its grip and the ordinary becomes strange. Guided by a witch, an anaesthetist and a professor of sleep, we drift towards unconsciousness and back again, lingering at the fragile threshold between awareness and oblivion. Featuring Anaesthetic Registrar Dr James Whereat, Intuitive Witch and Author Emma Griffin, and Professor Derk-Jan Dijk, Distinguished Professor at the University of Surrey and Director of the Surrey Sleep Research Centre. Produced by Redzi Bernard A Falling Tree production for Âé¶¹Éç Radio 3
