'Wakey, Wakey'
From the event description:
The New York Times may have hit the nail on the head when they called Will Eno's breakthrough 2005 play — and Pulitzer finalist — "Thom Pain (based on nothing)" "stand-up existentialism." His latest, "Wakey, Wakey," offers a similarly tragicomic look at matters of life and death, and this new A.C.T. production stars "Veep" and "Arrested Development" fave Tony Hale.
When: Thursday, Jan. 23, 7:30 p.m.
Where: A.C.T.'s Geary Theater, 415 Geary St.
