We don’t get enough sleep anymore! With technology, social media and general anxieties getting in the way of our precious, precious sleep, here at Sherbet Lemon Theatre we were keen to delve deeper into this issue. Welcome to Sherbet Lemon theatre and our debut performance The Truth About Bedtime... Over the past fourteen weeks we have worked tirelessly (pardon the pun) to create this performance about sleep. Our inspiration came relatively early into the process in and amongst discussions about the fundamentals of what it means to be a human. It was surprising to us that sleep, as a basic requirement for survival, is experienced so differently by each and every person with experiences both sweet, and sour! This influenced another of our key decisions, the decision to use verbatim theatre. We were keen to hear how sleep affected people of all different ages, genders and ethnicities. The resulting performance will hopefully enlighten you to what really goes on when you switch off for the night!
