    "Sleep F$@cking: Revision" is an exploration of the physical experience of writing and revising a work that delves into a troubled writer's mind. Wine-addled and in a mire of insomnia, a character named John begins to lose sight of what is real and what is the novel. The world of the play and the novel overlap and become one, as John physically enters his book and the stage is overtaken by both realities, making both him and the audience question the interpretation of events.

  • ANIMAL HUSBANDRY, a gay bedroom drama by David Davila
    24 Jan. 2020
    “ I had the absolute pleasure of seeing this play at, The Fringe Festival. David is a brilliant and empathetic playwright. I'm not ashamed to admit that I shed more than a few tears while watching the relationship between Danny and Gerry be revealed, and there were more than a few moments when I flashed to several memories of relationships I had, where I found myself relating to these characters. One line in this play that shook me, "I just didn't want it to end. I just wanted to hold onto it as long as I could..." Read this play! ”
