Amusements is an intensely sensorial one-woman headphone-theatre spectacular that asks what  exactly we might want from our entertainment, and what it might want from us.

With the audience plugged wireless into its beating heart, the performance is an hypnotic dance towards the limits of pleasure which grapples sleepily with the dizzying highs and terrifying boredoms of the early 21st century.

This is the second instalment of the Sleep Walk Collective / Christopher Brett Bailey performance triptych.
