LONDON: If a show at a theatre makes you sleep, it usually means it was boring. But not at Barbican in London where they have a show designed to send you to sleep.
'Lullaby' has been specially created to send the audience to sleep and consists of things such as soothing storytelling and singing octopuses.If that wasn't enough, the audience lie in pre-booked beds and attend the 'sublime sleepover' in their pyjamas - ready to be lulled to sleep by the slumber-inducing show.After watching the action and falling asleep, the audience are left to sleep before being woken and served breakfast the following morning at 7.30am… which sure beats a Travelodge.
Simon Casson, producer of the show, says he has fallen asleep in shows including Lord of the Rings and Oliver so came up with the idea of creating a specifically designed show to send people to sleep.So far no one has stayed awake to the end of the show and the cast have to put up with snores rather than a round of applause.
