Sleep/Svevn
Written by Jon Fosse (Norway, 2005) and directed by Sara Cameron Sunde (U.S.). Sleep follows the lives of a young woman and a young man as they grow from middle-age into old age. This is a beautiful story about love, disappointment, hope, and death in which Fosse
expresses how both the past and future are always a part of the present moment. SATC’s reading of Fosse’s Sleep is also part of their festival Norway Plays: Drama Beyond Ibsen.
