Do you have any thoughts or ideas about the show? Send us a text! Hello Creators,In this special bonus episode, we’re taking part in Podcaston 2026, where thousands of shows spotlight a charity they believe in. Ours is the Entertainment Community Fund, formerly the Actors Fund. They’ve been supporting the entertainment community since 1882, with practical help that can change everything when life gets shaky: emergency financial assistance, mental health support, housing resources, career coaching, and more. If you work in the performing arts, or you love someone who does, this is one to know.How to Support: entertainmentcommunity.orgFollow them on InstagramTo fit the performing arts theme, I asked our acting community on Instagram to inspire the readings, a soothing collection of favourite monologues from classic plays. You’ll hear voices wrestling with betrayal and self-respect, the shock of beauty on a scrappy stage, the clarity of a calling, the dreamlike logic of memory, the moment a “doll” becomes a person again, and a king who remembers he is made of the same dust as everyone else. It’s a calm, spoken-word listen designed for winding down, easing insomnia, and giving your nervous system something steady to follow.If it helps you rest, please subscribe, share it with a friend, support the Entertainment Community Fund via the links, and leave a review with the monologue that stayed with you.Sweet dreams,Florence xSupport the showOur Links:Subscribe to our Newsletter!www.sleeplesscreativespodcast.co.ukOur producerInstagramLinkedinDo you want to feature as one of our Guest Readers in your own special episode?
