A play that explores our pre-conceptions and stereo-typical expectations of the male and female psyche. Sometime puerile, sometimes poignant, always honest. Set in in a bed, in a bedroom, in those last few moments while we lay in bed awaiting sleep and our brains are left to wander around aimlessly in one of the few times in our lives that nothing else is demanding it's attention. It's looks at our own personal forms of logic and our abilities to convince ourselves of the existence or non-existence of events occurring in our own realities. Our desires, our paranoia and our fears of not complying to what is expected, not being understood and most of all our fear of ourselves. Played out in a series of male and female train-of-thought-style monologues it in turn examines and parodies our ideals of gender stero-types, exploring issues from the male and female's differing inability to turn down sex, to the similarities of cars to arses, to inter-relationship rape. Funny and at times shocking, bedtime stories is a play that starts when the lights go out.
