Are we the only ones that think this sounds a little spooky?

In 1937, a trio of clever chaps joned forces to create the Mass Observation project, an anthropological endeavour that aimed to observe the masses through individuals and their everyday habits. 

Theatre makers Inspector Sands take their inspiration from the project and attempt their own look at the moments in our day to day that are gone in a flash and the ones that seem to last and last. They take a young woman in '37 and watch her stumble into a revolutionary rally where emotions are high and a man in 2012 unable to escape a retirement home as he ushers in the Jubilee.
