'Look.' He pulled back the curtains from the window so that Peter could see the bright moon shining on a world of deep snow. 'You see, it's stopped snowing; it's a lovely night now.'
'I know your lovely nights,' Peter said; 'freezing like billy-o, and about a foot of snow to slodge through.'
'It's jolly fine being out in the snow at night,' Kay said. 'You see foxes, white owls and tawny owls.'
'I never heard such rot,' Peter said. 'Do blow the light out and let a chap get to sleep.'

Rosie fends for herself once again in our show on the theme of Sleep. There's a soothing lullaby, a horror-film soundtrack and a spoken word night-time tale set to a jazz score. This week, Tropic Of Clyde sees our heroes lulled further into a strange and snowy world in which they can't quite trust their senses.
For pictures, videos and other soporific curiosities, do look at our blog. You can also join us on Facebook. Send us your ideas for our next show, which is on the theme of Wilderness.
