In a big hotel room a man and a maid are talking.
But the more they talk, the more danger they face, and neither knows where it will lead.
On Insomnia and Midnight is a tale to frighten chambermaids in the night.
This play opened at the Royal Court Theatre in September 2006 as part of the International Playwrights series starring Vanessa Bauche (Amores Perros).
