Synopsis Lucy Dreaming explores the psychological landscape of that place between awake and asleep. Set inside the troubled mind of an insomniac, Lucy 1 tries to lull herself to dreamland with relaxation exercises. Lucy 2 interrupts with disjointed anxiety and a desperate plea to stay awake to avoid the beasts that feast that are waiting in her dreams. Finally, succumbing to exhaustion, Lucy 1 leaves Lucy 2 to fend for herself in her nightmare world. A version of this play is also available for a cast of two male actors under the title Lucas Dreaming .
