Sleep Tight

The company's second touring production performed at UK venues and festivals in 2000 and 2001.

Sleep Tight explored the world of night-time rituals, where fantastic figures emerged to create chaos and confusion in the fun and games of bed-time routines.  The audience found themselves immersed in a land of extraordinary imagery and play as pillows turned themselves inside out to reveal a multitude of surprises – mounds of duvets transformed into vast landscapes, friendly creatures rocked us to sleep and lullabies soothed our fears away.

Sleep Tight toured the UK in 2000 and 2001 to venues and festivals, including: Young Vic London, Visions Brighton, Minerva Chichester and Young at Art Festival, Belfast.
