Sleep With Me
by Hanif Kureishi

In Hanif Kureishi's latest play -- his first new work for the stage since the 1980s -- the century is drawing to a dose and the middle-aged media barons and their acolytes have come together in the English countryside in yet another attempt to find meaning in Eves fitted with work, boredom, and sex.

In recounting the casual deceptions and random couplings that make up the center of their existence, Stephen, Charles, Lorraine, Julie, Russell Sophie, and Barry find that the tack of rear engagement j that characterizes their work somehow makes it impossible for them to connect later as human beings.
