Sleeping Giant

Presented by Know Theatre of Cincinnati at Know Theatre

A marriage proposal gone awry awakens an ancient evil deep within a lake and triggers a rising tide of unsettling events.

As things take a turn for the horrifying, Sleeping Giant asks: how far will you go to find something to believe in?

This dark comedy from Know favorite Steve Yockey [Pluto (2013), The The Fisherman’s Wife (2015), Heavier Than.., (2017) Mercury (2019)], and showrunner of HBO’s The Flight Attendant and Netflix’s Dead Boy Detectives, combines equal parts humor and dread in a truly unexpected story for the stage.
