Sleepwalking

I’m his mother. A mother knows things - feels them. When her child isn’t well. Isn’t happy. The kitchen of a suburban house. A mother and daughter raise a child in the most normal way possible following the departure of a family member. Tensions rise as the pair skirt around issues that underpin their co-dependency, proving that what goes on inside a relationship is never clear to the people outside. This searing new play by award-winning writer Hannah Khalil is published in Methuen Drama’s Lost Plays series, celebrating new plays that had productions postponed due to the Covid-19 outbreak and the global shutdown of theatre spaces.
