About Fever Dreams:
FEVER DREAMS (of animals on the verge of extinction) by Jeffrey Lieber, co-creator of the hit television series LOST, opens TheaterWorks Hartford's 24/25 season. A steamy, decades-long affair. A remote cabin. An unexpected visitor. This is only the beginning. Starring Tim DeKay (White Collar, 1923, Oppenheimer), Doug Savant (Desperate Housewives, Melrose Place), and Lana Young (The Resident, A Jazzman's Blues), this play is full of surprising twists, dark secrets, and one very stubborn, broken cabinet.
