QUIET, COMFORT
WRITTEN BY TOSHIKI OKADA
DIRECTED BY ALEC DUFFY
“A magic carpet ride. . . the perfect setting in which to dream up interpretations.”
“Wake up! the play seems to shout. Wake up, wake up!”
In this play by Toshiki Okada, commissioned by Hoi Polloi, a dream world is fashioned in which the audience joins the actors on a giant bed that fills the entire stage for a piece about travel, first-world privilege and the danger of a life lived alone.
