HISTORY HAS NO SAFE WORD
Professor Nathan Zangari is fading away.

Thursday 24 September 7:30PM

Professor Nathan Zangari is fading away. Once celebrated as BBC2’s sexiest professor, his groundbreaking work on Pompeii is now forgotten. Insomnia, failure, and isolation plague him, until a sleep clinic records his strange sleep-talking, seemingly channeling a lost Pompeian girl.

With student Callie, he is drawn into the lives of ancient people on the brink of Vesuvius’s eruption, blurring past and present in a gripping, immersive historical thriller where history refuses to stay buried alive again.

Fantastic historical drama: tickets on sale NOW.
