The Dreamer Examines His Pillow – Unpathed

Overview

Examine your pillow and you might find a pool of dribble or mascara stains on its surface. But this play by award-winning, John Patrick Shanley (perhaps best known for 2008 film Doubt, which he adapted from his own stage work) looks a little deeper, leaving The Dreamer Examines His Pillow a discussion of relationships, love and sex.

Written and set in The Bronx of 1985, when it was written, the dark comedy has entertained and enlightened viewers from across the decades. This indie production of it should be an intriguing watch. Directed by Vashti Pontaks (Dog Sees God) with performances from Ainslie Clouston, Scott Lee and Peter McAllum, the production comes from Unpathed Theatre Company, who brought us the interesting Blood Moon earlier this year.
