Three award-winning writers read new work inspired by the theme of sleep, each introduced by experts who explore the science and contemporary culture of sleep. This three-part series is co-commissioned by Durham Book Festival, Northumbria University and Politecnico di Milano.

Durham Book Festival is a Durham County Council event, produced by New Writing North with support from Durham University and Arts Council England.
