About the Show

Chained to his desk in the basement of customer service hell, Segis suddenly finds himself set free in the CEO’s penthouse—but is it a dream? This raucous reinvention of Pedro Calderón de la Barca’s Life is a Dream gleefully skewers corporate America with razor-sharp wit and the biggest cast ever assembled on Woolly’s stage.

“Callaghan takes a lavish mudbath in broken language.”
– The Washington Post

“Callaghan…has real insight and a grasp on modernity—with all its obsessions and melancholy—that few playwrights harness with such alacrity.”
– Chicago Tribune
