Sleeping Giant at Rorschach Theatre at 1020 Connecticut Avenue NW

When a firework-filled marriage proposal goes very wrong, the accompanying explosions wake up something very old that has been sleeping in the nearby lake for thousands of years. What follows are intimate, darkly comic, and sometimes startling vignettes about the lengths people go to when they desperately want to believe in something. Written by Steve Yockey, the playwright of previous Rorschach shows VERY STILL AND HARD TO SEE and REYKJAVIK, and the creator of the HBO series THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT and the Netflix series DEADBOY DETECTIVES.
