It\u2019s based on one of the earliest newspaper comic strips, and it plays onstage like an animated cartoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The premise is simple: At bedtime, a man eats Welsh rarebit \u2013 a fried cheese dish \u2013 which gives him indigestion, which causes nightmares. Over and over again. And in those nightmares, anything can happen\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>cast: 4M, 2F, 1 live keyboard player<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* never before, to the best of our knowledge, adapted for the stage<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4114-min-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4114-min-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1548\" width=\"379\" height=\"505\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4114-min-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4114-min-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4114-min-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4114-min-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4114-min-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 379px) 100vw, 379px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4132-min-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4132-min-830x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1546\" width=\"379\" height=\"468\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4132-min-830x1024.jpg 830w, http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4132-min-243x300.jpg 243w, http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4132-min-768x947.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4132-min-1246x1536.jpg 1246w, http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4132-min-1661x2048.jpg 1661w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 379px) 100vw, 379px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4094-min-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4094-min-1-691x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1547\" width=\"381\" height=\"565\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4094-min-1-691x1024.jpg 691w, http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4094-min-1-203x300.jpg 203w, http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4094-min-1-768x1138.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4094-min-1-1037x1536.jpg 1037w, http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4094-min-1-1383x2048.jpg 1383w, http:\/\/www.hardcovertheater.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/DSCF4094-min-1-scaled.jpg 1728w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 381px) 100vw, 381px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>full-length play produced in 2014 at the Music Box and the Bryant-Lake Bowlbased on the early twentieth-century comic strip* by Winsor McCay A giant mosquito wants to play tag\u2026A dentist goes spelunking in a woman\u2019s cavernous mouth\u2026A man is turned &hellip;
