Worldstage Theatre & Co. presents the play "A Sleep of Prisoners" by Christopher Fry for three consecutive nights at the Rudolf Steiner Community Center.
An anti-war drama, "A Sleep of Prisoners," explores, through dream conversations of four soldiers, themes familiar to us as human beings: life itself, death, war, and the consequence of free will. In dramatic verse, Fry investigates the problems of four prisoners of war trapped overnight in a bombed-out cathedral in enemy territory. Through their night of vivid dreams, incorporating themes of Old Testament proportions, each participates as a character in each other’s dreams. Revealed for our own consideration are each man’s inner response to the dream events, engaging himself, his companions, and the problems they face onto a spiritual plane.
The play runs for around 85 minutes and has no intermission. Purchase tickets by making the suggested donation of $25 - $45, according to what is comfortable for you. Your ticket will then await you at the theater door. Doors open at 6:00 for first-come, first-served seating. The library room will also be open early for browsing.
