Notes: | Developed with the support of ATYP's Fresh Ink program, Sleepyhead won the Fellowship of Australian Writers' Di Cranston Award in their 2009 Literary Awards and was shortlisted for the 2010 Griffin Award. The play has a distinctly mid-20th Century aesthetic, the result, the playwright says, of living in Perth and reading way too much Southern Gothic Fiction. | |||||
Synopsis: | Sleepyhead is a gothic tale of isolation and innocence. Recognisable as a family despite themselves; burnt; crippled; hideously drunk. Dead. On a remote rural property live a father and his two daughters. Strange phone calls in the night, the spectre of their dead mother, and then, one night, a visitor. | |||||
