    Exhausted by the demands of her job and housework, M. longs to make use of the lost hours between midnight and six.

    Following an online "sleep-working" tutorial, she creates a dream version of herself, W. 

    But W. soon begins to demand more time, more space, and more control...

    "Work While They Sleep" was shortlisted for the Royal Court Theatre’s international script submissions, through which playwright Filipe Pereira and translator Jenny Futuro met. 

    Supported by Arts Council England.

    This event is part of the UK/Brazil Season of Culture 2025-26

    There will be a Post-show discussion after the Saturday matinee performance.
