Insomnia
by Nikorn Sae-Tang (Thailand)
"Aging is like a cow walking to the slaughterhouse, each step is closer and closer, and then you arrive there. They cut your throat, and you die. Everybody is the same.”
By one of Thailand's most venerated playwrights Nikorn Sae Tang, this is a harrowing account of of a banker living through the 'Tom Yam Goong' crisis, a financial collapse which rocked Thailand in 1997. Sucked into the crumbling nightmare of Chai’s world, we join him on the edge of financial, social and political instability as he struggles to remain awake.
