Idle, They Yammer explores the human need to tell stories and construct meaning as a way to cope with life's challenges. It delves into what happens when these narratives begin to collapse and asks how hope can still be sustained in a world that feels like it is falling apart. This work is a metaphysical conversation about the struggles of those trapped by the very stories they have created, reflecting on resilience and the passage of time.

Today’s the day, right? That’s what you said. What you prophesized. Today’s the day we finish the job?

We’re all in the business of telling stories. Building narratives. Constructing meaning. To keep ourselves safe, to make sense of the senseless, to explain the unexplainable, or simply just to pass the time. But what happens when the stories we inhabit begin to crumble? How can we still manufacture hope in a world that’s falling apart?

Idle, They Yammer is an ode to hard graft, a metaphysical conversation between people trapped by the very thing they’ve spent their entire lives building. This edition was published to coincide with the premiere at The Other Room, Cardiff, in May 2023.
