Publisher's Synopsis
Sarah, who is narcoleptic, has always found sleep a confusing state. Her inability to distinguish between dreams and waking reality gives rise to many misunderstandings. For Terry, a disillusioned film critic, sleep is merely a memory, as he yearns for the tantalizing dreams he used to enjoy. For Dr Dunstan, sleep is nothing less than a global disease. Constructed to reflect the different stages of sleep, haunted by forgotten dreams and lost moveis, The House of Sleep is a brilliant and original comedy about the powers we acquire - and those we relinquish - when we fall asleep, and when we fall in love.
