Goyer and Allan Heinberg In 1916 in the Realm of Dreams, Morpheus, the king of dreams and nightmares, learns of the escaped nightmare “The Corinthian” and travels to Berlin to confront him and stop his murdering spree. Meanwhile in Wych Cross England, Roderick Burgess makes a pact with Dr John Hathaway to capture one of the Endless, Death, to compel her to return their lost sons. But the incantation doesn’t work as expected and they trap another of the Endless, Morpheus. Dragged from his confrontation with the Corinthian and trapped, Dream silently vows vengeance on Roderick Burgess. With guidance from The Corinthian, who wants to keep Dream trapped, Roderick uses the power of Morpheus’s powerful Helm, Ruby and pouch of sand to make his dreams come true. Over decades Roderick bargains and rages with Morpheus to bring back his son. Failing that to give him power, wealth and immortality. But Morpheus remains silent. Roderick’s younger son, Alex Burgess, will do anything to impress his father, including killing the Raven guardian of Morpheus, Jessemy. This is unforgivable but still Morpheus remains silent. As the years pass, the frustration in the Burgess family overflows and Alex accidently kills his father. But in the aftermath Alex finds a new love, Paul and they spend many more years trying to convince Morpheus to leave without hurting them. But Morpheus remains silent. After a century in captivity and without a word spoken, Paul breaks the incantation which bound Morpheus and, before finally returning to his realm, he punishes Alex, forcing him into eternal sleep. When Morpheus arrives back to the land of dreams he is met by his librarian, Lucienne, who reveals that the realm has changed without the King of Dreams. Most of the dreams and nightmares have left and the land is in disrepair. But Dream built this place before and he is resolved to build it once again. The Sandman Chapter 1 CastTom Sturridge - Morpheus The Lord of DreamsVivienne Acheampong - LucienneBoyd Holbrook - The CorinthianCharles Dance - Roderick BurgessBenjamin Evan Ainsworth - Alex BurgessNiamh Walsh - Ethel Cripps The Sandman Creators Based on the comics written by Neil Gaiman Art by Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg. Cover Art by Dave McKeanExecutive Producers are Allan Heinberg, Neil Gaiman and David S.
