Description
In a big hotel room a man and a maid are talking. But the more they talk, the more danger they face, and neither knows where it will lead. On Insomnia and Midnight is a tale to frighten chambermaids in the night. This play opened at the Royal Court Theatre in September 2006 as part of the International Playwrights series starring Vanessa Bauche (Amores Perros).
