"Dreaming permits each and every one of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives." -William C. Dement
THE INHERITANCE OF NIGHTDREAMS is a dramatic comedy about the panic and joy of being completely lost. The story follows the middle-aged parents and young adult children of the Peel family as they navigate love, death, distance, and the secret landscapes of each other's dreams.

A note from the Dramaturg, Emily MacLeod '12
Plays today are rarely forced into genres of comedy, tragedy and history the way Shakespeare's were. As Shakespeare's last comedy
(based on the classical definition), Measure for Measure is ahead of its time, blending humor and pathos with passion and intensity.
The 'problems' are what makes it a play more resonant with our world today than it was four hundred years ago.
