GIRL ASLEEP

On the cusp of turning 15, Greta Driscoll is having a hard time fitting in her new town. Between the blonde brats clique, her too-cool-for-school big sister and her outspoken parents, the only person she seems to be able to talk to is Elliott, her weird yet endearing classmate.

When her mom decides to throw her a surprise birthday party and invite literally everyone, her biggest teenage fears take over and Greta is flung into a parallel world; a place that’s weirdly erotic, a little bit violent and thoroughly ludicrous – only there can she find herself.

A journey into the absurd, scary and beautiful heart of the teenage mind.

“When you spend 20 years making plays, plays are very ephemeral. They come and go, but with GirlAsleep, we go, “Wow, we’ve got this thing forever now, and we can look back on it.” Even a lot of our shows that do turn around, they might last for several years, but then they’re gone. You might have a video document of them, but that’s not really the same. It’s actually quite amazing to have something to show to our grandkids.“
