A Sleeping Country
by Melanie Marnich
Synopsis
THE STORY: A dreamy comedy about sleep lost and hope found.
Julia, a woman from New York City with a serious case of insomnia, travels to Venice seeking help from a sleepless heiress who might be a distant relative.
What she discovers is the difference between being an insomniac and being truly awake.
Press Reviews
"A thoughtful comedy…it's a funny riff on the way that many of us avoid being fully aware of life.“ —CityBeat. ”[Marnich is] a living playwright with a fresh voice…the dialogue is razor sharp, the characters well drawn and unique, and the story vastly entertaining and informative."
— Dramaurge
