A Sleeping Country
by Melanie Marnich
 March 22 – April 20, 2008
Mickey Kaplan New American Play Prize Winner

A world premiere comedy about sleep lost and hope found. In New York City, a woman becomes convinced that she has the “Worst Insomnia in the World.” Risking her life and love, she travels to Venice to seek help from a fabulous and sleepless heiress who might also be a distant relative. This very funny but poignant play is about facing your fears and knowing the difference between not sleeping and being truly awake.
