Show Info

By Ken Urban
Directed by Adam Fitzgerald
With Jeff Biehl, Jocelyn Kuritsky, Miranda Jackel, Dee Nelson, Maulik Pancholy, Andy Phelan and Lori Prince

The set is on fire. 

The flood waters are rising. 

The interrogation is starting. 

Are we better off asleep? 

Three strangers - a devoted son, an Eastern European actress and a Canadian man on the run - awaken to discover they are connected by a mysterious corporation. Faced with lives they no longer recognize, they must confront a shifting reality of secrets, strangers and unmarked doors. In a world in which it's easier to close our eyes, Ken Urban's heart-pounding new play asks: Is it time to wake up?
