Hysteria can have a magical quality. Whether itâs the âdancing plagueâ of 1518, where hundreds of medieval Alsatians found themselves inexplicably jigging, or the âlaughing epidemicâ that gripped colonial Tanzania back in 1962, inexplicable collective experiences can be as formative as they are unsettling. It is that conflict which BBC Oneâs new four-part drama, The Listeners, explores, as an unlikely group calcifies around a mysterious noise, even as their constituent lives crumble around them.
Claire (Rebecca Hall) is a teacher at a posh-looking school somewhere in non-specific rural England. She has a quiet domestic life with husband Paul (Prasanna Puwanarajah) and their daughter, Ashley (Mia Tharia). Her life is simple â almost boring â until she begins to hear a constant, low, monotonous humming. Audiologists tell her that sheâs physically fine, that it could be a sign of early menopause or anxiety. âMedically thereâs nothing wrong with me,â she laments, âso that can only mean one thingâŠâ And yet Claire doesnât think the noise is âall in her headâ, and that suspicion is confirmed when her most truculent student, Kyle (Ollie West), reveals that he too can hear it. Together, they enter a world of people obsessed by a noise that will bend, if not break, their lives.
