Sleeping Beauty

Friday, December 2, 2011 - Tuesday, January 3, 2012

In this bold and unsettling debut, a university student offers a want ad for a lingerie waitress.  But she finds herself initiated into a strange new world–a job requiring her to submit completely to her clients by being sedated, becoming a Sleeping Beauty.  This unnerving experience begins to bleed into her daily life, until she determines to break the spell by discovering what happens while she sleeps.
