There are few people of a certain age who aren't familiar with the adaptation of John Wyndham's very British sci-fi novel The Midwich Cuckoos into 1960 film Village of the Damned.

Even if the actual story can't be recalled, that image of those scary-looking, mind-reading blond kids is burned into the subconscious of practically everyone over 40 - and its folk horror cult appeal still lives on.

Brought to the stage through a hybrid script which combined the film and the book, it was performed by an excellent ensemble cast of actors and treated as an old fashioned piece of radio theatre – with music and foley provided by Brighton-based music duo Spacedog and friends.

Slipping in and out of different roles the cast pieced together the seemingly mundane events to slowly reveal that something even stranger than they could have possibly imagined was going on in their tiny Sussex village.

The otherworldly hum of Sarah Angliss's theramin, the eerie whine of the waterphone and the close atonal harmonies of singing duo Lutine provided a perfectly peculiar backdrop.

There may be some funny stuff going on in the Deans, but nothing compares to this.
