Pacific Theatre presents the return of Wakey, Wakey by Will Eno from October 15 to November 2.
It’s a party for one, and the world is invited. Guy wakes in an empty room with nothing but a handful of flash cards to make sense of it all before the curtain falls. Eno’s gently disorienting meditation on life’s small joys and absurdities will lead audiences into the dark with a light touch and the hand of a friend.
The original Pacific Theatre creative team behind Wakey, Wakey went on to receive five Jessie Richardson Theatre Award nominations for their work on the Canadian premiere in 2021. This fall, they return to give Guy the celebration he truly deserves, led by Pacific Theatre’s artistic director Kaitlin Williams.
A post-show talkback will take place on October 24, and a special pre-show Wine Wednesday event will take place on October 22.
