if you can’t sleep,
how can you tell you’re awake?
Written by Daniel Brooks (with Guillermo Verdecchia) Directed by Chris Abraham
Designed by Julie Fox, Andrea Lundy & Richard Feren
John F. tosses and turns as he wallows in his worst fears…his troubles exacerbated by a failing marriage, a faltering career and an unfinished masterpiece. Then there’s his successful and overbearing brother, not to mention John F.’s unrequited love for his sister-in-law. Casting an hypnotic spell, the play takes us into the restless and anxious soul of not only one man, but of a culture teetering on the brink of catastrophe.
"Think of Insomnia as an impressively theatrical nightcap with which to neurotically toast the millennium.”
