Drama on 3: Caligari, by Amanda Dalton

Adapted from the 1919 film Das Cabinet des Dr Caligari, written by Hans Janowitz and Carl Mayer, and directed by Robert Wiene. Amanda Dalton's adaptation builds on the film's themes: the madness of society, the inner workings of the human mind and the paranoia of a country in the aftermath of a war. The story centres on Francis, who recounts the story of mesmerist Dr Caligari and his somnambulist slave, Cesare, who appear to be responsible for a series of murders in Holstenwall. With Tom Ferguson, Luke Treadaway, Eileen O'Brien, Peter Hamilton Dyer, Sarah McDonald Hughes, Malcolm Raeburn, James Quinn, Terence Mann, Robin Blaze (countertenor). Music composed by Ollie Fox and performed by Kate St John, Genevieve Wilkins, Sarah Homer and David Coulter.
