SLEEPING GIANT
By Steve Yockey
October 2024

SLEEPING GIANT does not rely on jump-scares, but the dread of a world beyond our living room that holds no respect for either our moral sentiments or normative expectations. And yet, this production allows it to be both wickedly and subtly satirical. –WASHINGTON CITY PAPER

“If you’re thinking this sort of material might be right up Rorschach Theatre’s alley — they’re working in a vacant Rochester Big & Tall store at the moment, not in an actual alley, though I wouldn’t put it past them — you’re onto something. It’s a company with a distinct appetite for the oddball and the otherworldly, an heir in many ways to the transgressively esoteric aesthetic that helped put Woolly Mammoth on the national theater map.” — WASHINGTON POST

“Rorschach Theatre’s production of Steve Yockey’s SLEEPING GIANT reveals itself in layers. As its peculiarities bloom, so do its insights. As the monster rises from the deep, so do the monsters among us — and the lost, the forgotten, the lonely, the hopeless, and the hopeful.” — DC THEATER ARTS
