Dreams Of the Washer King

A boy creeps around with a tape recorder looking for signs of his dad till a mysterious family moves next door and upends his life. A haunting tale about the dreams that help us get through the day — and then keep us up at night.

Dreams Of the Washer King

  • Rob Cardazone: Dreams Of the Washer King

    I auditioned for this play a long time ago. I remember being mesmerized by the sides. Best thing: I had a question about the (beautiful) monologue they had me do; alluded to Jacob wrestling the Angel. I had signed up for the audition for later in the day, so when I got home to prepare, I looked up Mr. Wall, posted the question on his website and he emailed back! Sending the script! I ended up taking time off from acting, but now, getting back into it, I wish I could find that script. Good man! Great play!
