'The black dog finds a troubled sleeper ...'

"To be or not to be" is probably the most famous soliloquy. The feeling I hope to convey in the recording is of a man sitting on the side of his bed in the very dark of night, consumed by despair and confusion, contemplating what he sees as the rubble of his life.

The reference to the "black dog" is in honour of Mark Twain, who referred to depression as "that black dog."
