Matthew Ethan Davis Warns Against Sleeping in SLEEP AT YOUR OWN RISK at Queerly Festival

Celebrated playwright, Matthew Ethan Davis' new play - as part of the Queerly Festival during Pride Month - SLEEP AT YOUR OWN RISK - is a laugh-out-loud comedy about a man terrified of falling asleep - because that's the one things he doesn't do when he sleeps! The play is a one-man journey suffering through what happens when he falls asleep - everything from hoping he doesn't kill his husband or walk out of the apartment naked! Two showings only: Jun 21 & 22 at the cutting edge venue, The Kraine.

Cabaret and theatre artist, Rick Skye, appears as a man who is terrified of falling asleep - in the city that never sleeps!

Originally produced & published by United Solo Festival, then enjoying a run at the Midtown International Theatre Festival and produced and published by The International New York Solo Festival, Sleep at Your Own Risk is part now part of the Queerly festival during Stonewall50.
