Sleeping Beauties (2001–02)
Based on the Franklin Expedition's fateful attempt to find the Northwest Passage, Sleeping Beauties follows its final survivor, abandoned on the Arctic steppes with his skeletal companion, Sebastian.
You may think that a clown play that includes bony sex and cannibalism is an unlikely vehicle for the expression of emotion and subtlety, but you'd be wrong. Jonathan Young's performance as the doomed survivor is exceptional... Don’t miss its strange, wide-eyed beauty.
