This short, one act play, first staged at the National Theatre, won Harold Pinter the 1982 Best Play award from Drama Plays and Players.

It was inspired by Dr Oliver Sacks’ account of his work with patients suffering from sleeping sickness in his book Awakenings. Deborah was a lively 16 year old and part of a close knit family, when her body froze into a state of immobility. Twenty-nine years later, she comes to life and gradually and poignantly tries to adjust to the world around her: the doctor, the death of her mother and the ageing of her younger sister.
