If there’s one town that’s been dubbed “up-and-coming” for the past few years, it’s Margate. Now, it offers a vibrant setting for the vivacious family at the centre of Dreamland.

In keeping with the hallmark of Clelia Mountford and Sharon Horgan’s production company, Merman, it’s a sharply observed comedy-drama about the female experience in all its forms.

Based on a short of the same name written by Sharon Horgan (Catastrophe) and produced by Merman, Dreamland follows the secrets, lies, loves and aspirations of a family of four sisters.

Set in the sun-drenched British seaside town of Margate, the comedy-drama is a darkly funny exploration of multi-generational female relationships and their somewhat dysfunctional family dynamics.
