‘Caesar, I never stood on ceremonies, / Yet now they fright me.’

This week, we join Sally in the early morning, after a Shakespearean dream. Listen for a meditation on the boundaries between sleeping and waking, dreams and reality, and confidence and hubris.

Calpurnia’s full speech can be found here.

The wonderful piano music in the opening section is ‘Tuesday’, by Paul Sebastian.

This episode was edited and produced by James Bowen.

Special thanks to Andrew Smith, Violet Henderson, Kris Dyer, and Maeve Magnus.
