Details

Blending music, magic, and imagination, Eddie and the Slumber Sisters is a heart-warming fable which explores the realities of grieving through the eyes of a child. Eddie might be quiet and reserved by day, but at night her dreams are increasingly wild, chaotic and sometimes terrifying. It's been like this ever since her gran died; and Eddie's gran was a one-off; bright, exuberant and silly, but most importantly she was Eddie's best pal, the one person she could really talk to about everything. Enter the Slumber Sisters: an all-singing trio whose job it is to monitor our dreams and ensure that our night-time wanderings remain healthy and safe. Armed with an infinite supply of imaginative remedies, they arrive to create dreams that will help Eddie through these difficult times.
