Digital theatre innovator imitating the dog presents Nocturnes, a multimedia twist on a '50s spy thriller set during the height of the cold war at Lancaster University on October 17 and 18.
Two operatives holed up in a Berlin apartment in the Russian Zone await instructions. As time passes, their relationship to each other and to the orders they receive from their superiors falls apart.
