Small Pond Entertainment Presents
SLEEPER
by David Ian Lee
directed by Nat Cassidy
“A war is coming, but not the one we expect.”
Featuring:
Micah Chartrand, David Dartley*, Anna Kull, Jason Griffith*, David Ian Lee*, L. Jay Meyer*, Craig Lee Thomas* & Kristen Vaughan*
SLEEPER, an "epic pressure cooker of a political thriller" (August Schulenburg, Flux Theatre Ensemble), tells the story of an American doctor abducted from an NGO building project on the Pakistani border; a widow's journey from indifference to activism; the rising star of a vociferous right-wing pundit prior to the invasion of Iraq; and an Afghani translator forced into an impossible situation. SLEEPER explores the cultural divide separating 2003 and 2008, the virtual war that has exploded between dogma and reason, and the dangers of apathy and ignorance, be they found in our foreign policy or our most intimate relationships.
