Successfully produced in
London and New York and
in churches and theatres
throughout Great Britain and
the United Sates, A Sleep of
Prisoners examines the roots
of emnity that destroy an in-
dividual’s sense of worth and
divide men and nations.

It telis the story of four
Allied prisoners of war lock-
ed up in a church in occupied
territory. The main action
comes in a sequence of
dreams in which each
prisoner displays his own in-
ner response to events and to
others. With an interweaving
of biblical espisode and
Christian ritual with a
modern atmosphere of empty
churches, earthy soldiers and

(2 jiniversal war, A Sleep of

Prisoners makes for forceful,
meaningful theatre.

Author Fry wrote that one
thought prompting the play’s

writing was the likelihood of
war. At its heart, he wrote, is
the idea that ‘progress is the
growth of vision: the increas-
ed perception of what makes
for life and what makes for
death.’

A Sleep of Prisoners is the
Actors’ Guild’s first produc-

tors, actors and production
personnel, most of whom
have had professional train-
ing and experience, the Ac-
tors’ Guild is committed to

values. A Sleep of Prisoners
represents the expression of
one of the Actors’ Guild
