Segis Basil is the lone resident of a dungeon-like basement in a corporate skyscraper: the customer service center of Basil Enterprises. Segis, by the orders of his father, Bill Basil, has been chained to a desk since childhood performing the banal tasks of the company’s worst job. When Rose, a masquerading bike-messenger-on-a-mission, discovers Segis in his basement prison, the seeds of a revolution begin to grow...

Fever/Dream is Sheila Callaghan's comic adaptation of Calderón’s 17th century masterwork, Life is a Dream. This imaginative new play--first produced last year in Washington, D.C.--emulates the existential spirit of Calderón's original, which evokes questions of appearance versus reality, and alludes to the political turmoil occurring in Renaissance Spain. Fever/Dream transposes Calderón's original to the present. Is life in corporate America a dream? A nightmare? And can we awake from it?
