Directed by Julie Barclay Performed by Caroline Bunce (Deborah) Nathan Sussex (Hornby) Claire Cage (Pauline) Designed by Steve Denton Stage Management by Andy Thomas The play is inspired by Dr Oliver Sacks’ account of his work with patients suffering from sleeping sickness in his book “Awakenings”. Deborah was a lively 16 year old and part of a close knit family, when her body froze into a strange catatonic sleep. Twenty nine years later, watched over throughout by the same doctor, she comes to life and gradually and poignantly tries to adjust to the world around her. The production has been supported by The Arts Council of Wales
