The Insomnia of Humpty-Dumpty

Humpty-Dumpty hasn't slept yet.
Humpty-Dumpty is full of regrets.
There is no one here - no horses, no men.
He doesn't know who can repair him again.

What were your dreams as a child? Why did you leave? Who have you become? And what is the relationship between Humpty-Dumpty and Mary Poppins?

In the quiet darkness of a Manchester night, Insomnia sparks memories, dreams and nightmares. This new piece: part self-analysis, part auto-biographical, is an exploration of the guilt, anger and hope of someone who has left home.
