THE COLOR OF SLUMBER
by Mark Frank
In a fractured world where dreams bleed into reality, Logan is trapped in a relentless psychological maze controlled by a mysterious force known only as “Her.” Every night he is hunted by the terrifying Mr. Shroud and forced to relive the same nightmare over and over again—until one unexpected encounter changes the rules of the game. As Logan races against time to escape before his ninety minutes run out, he is pulled deeper into a surreal landscape filled with shifting identities, buried trauma, forbidden truths, and haunting memories. Alongside the fiercely guarded Tally, Logan begins to uncover a devastating secret at the center of the dream—one that could finally free them both or destroy them forever. The Color of Slumber is a bold, emotionally charged theatrical experience that blends psychological thriller, dark fantasy, and raw human drama into a haunting exploration of identity, fear, love, and self-acceptance. Visually striking and deeply provocative, the play asks one unforgettable question: What happens when you can no longer escape yourself?
