Acid Dream: The Great LSD Plot - 1. Dream Away

The first episode of an epic story that charts an attempt to start a revolution of the mind, from a Welsh farmhouse.
In the 1970s it's estimated that around 60% of the world's LSD came from one place: Wales. This is the story of the Microdot Gang - a ragtag group of chemists, dealers, businessmen and hippy dreamers. They believed that acid had the power to save the world.

Narrated by Rhys Ifans (House of the Dragon, Notting Hill, Harry Potter) and starring Hannah Murray (Game of Thrones, Skins), Acid Dream is written by Welsh playwright Tim Price and features original music from Super Furry Animals frontman, Gruff Rhys.

Contains references to drug use.
