About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of The Dream by Joanna Baillie. Read in English by a full cast. The Dream is Joanna Baillie’s gothic, proto-Lynchian meditation on fear, guilt, and the prophetic power of dreams. In the cloistered confines of a Swiss monastery, a small group of monks share the same prophetic dream: a forlorn specter reaches out to them with a mysterious—and potentially life-threatening—ultimatum. The dream comes every night, and yet its true import remains hazy and unknown. But when these dreams lead them to a buried corpse, the monastery soon tumbles down a blood-spattered path of vengeance, betrayal, and unbridled terror. - Summary by ChuckW Stage Directions: Sandra Schmit Jerome: Gauguin Benedict: ToddHW Paul: TJ Burns Osterloo: Tomas Peter Prior: Larry Wilson Leonora: Sonia Agnes: Availle Morand: Chuck Williamson Wovelreid: Voxandis 3rd Peasant (Woman) / 1st Woman / Sexton / The Imperial Ambassador: Leanne Yau Peasant / Lay-Brother / The First Gentleman: DrPGould 4th Peasant (Old Woman) / 2nd Executioner: April6090 1st Peasant / 1st Servant / 1st Executioner: Foon 2nd Peasant / 2nd Servant / 1st Monk: TriciaG Monk: Jim Locke 1st Soldier: Roger Melin 1st Officer: Eva Davis 2nd Soldier: alanmapstone 3rd Soldier: Nemo
