The Dreamer Examines His Pillow archiveThe Bronx, 1983. Landlords burn their own buildings. Sons steal from mothers. Everyone seeks escape. Reaganomics. The rise of the new millionaire. Money can buy happiness. At least, that's what they tell you on TV. Sat in a dingy apartment staring into the void, Tommy, a twenty-something down-and-out is in search of the meaning behind it all. Enter ex-girlfriend Donna - hurt, vengeful, and damn right pissed. ?How could you do that? Do you hate me?' He looks to the self-portrait for answers. Hopeless. Maybe Donna's dad can knock some sense into him. A stark exploration of how humans deal with emotions beyond their grasp, John Patrick Shanley's The Dreamer Examines his Pillow hits the UK for the first time. Touching and intrinsically relatable, this production cuts the crap and tells it straight.
