Sleepwalk With Me extends its run for a second time
The one man comedy show, Sleepwalk With Me, written and performed by Mike Birbiglia, has extended its run for a second time, and will now play through to 7 Jun 2009.
Sleepwalk With Me, directed by Seth Barish, opened at Bleecker Street Theatre on 11 Nov 2008, following previews from 17 Oct and was originally scheduled to close on 18 Jan 2009.
The comedy opened to excellent reviews: "90-minutes that fly by as fast as a dream, and leave us wanting more." (New York Theatre Guide); "Birbiglia delivers his piece with some choice physical gags, winning not only laughs but also hearts." (Back Stage); "Birbiglia displays an uncanny ability to be hilarious, terrifying and poignant � all in the same breath." (AP); It's hard to imagine anyone leaving without a goofy, Mike-like grin." (Variety)
Sleepwalk With Me takes the audience on a funny and personal journey through his struggles with sleepwalking and his reluctance to confront his fears of love, honesty and growing up.
The creative features Beowulf Boritt (sets), Jason Lyons (lights) and Jim Corona (sound).
