Signature Theatre will present the world premiere of Will Eno’s previously unnamed Wakey, Wakey next year. The production, directed by Eno (a Residency Five playwright at the off-Broadway company), will begin performances at the Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre at The Pershing Square Signature Center on February 7, 2017.
Eno’s new comedy asks some thought-provoking (if a bit vague) questions: What are we here for? Is time a friend or an enemy? Do we all eventually end up in the same place, but take different routes to get there? This marks Eno’s third play as part of Signature’s residency program, following The Open House and Title and Deed
Wakey, Wakey is scheduled to run through March 19 and open officially on February 27. Casting will be announced at a later date.
