We learn of the inhabitants' dreams and desires, their loves and
regrets. The play introduces us to characters such as Captain Cat who
dreams of his drowned former seafellows and Nogood Boyo who dreams of
nothing at all. It is a unique and touching depiction of a village that
has 'fallen head over bells in love'. The First Voice narration reveals
the ordinary world of daily happenings and events, while the Second
Voice conveys the intimate, innermost thoughts of the fascinating folk
of Llareggub.
