Dream Story

Anna Ledwich will direct her version of Arthur Schnitzler’s provocative and mesmerizing thriller, Dream Story, the novella that inspired Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut; a vivid examination into the nature of sexual jealousy, obsession and desire.

Through a simple, teasing sexual confession of fantasised infidelity, a husband and wife are driven apart into rival worlds of erotic revenge. Their mutual admissions signal a surrendering to their most illicit fantasies propelling them into an extraordinary night-journey and dangerous sexual awakening.
