Wakeful Chamber, The

Synopsis:
A woman's chronic somniphobia (fear of sleep) leads her to develop an elaborate system of rituals in order to survive the hours of night - measuring time, light, distances, stars - until day breaks and the world around her wakes up. Inspired by the work of Aberdeen's Royal Astronomer Sir David Gill, alchemy, fantasy and bats, the play explores what happens to our sensory perception when familiar routines are under threat.
