The House of Sleeping Beauties is an adaptation of the novella by Nobel Prize winning author Yasunari Kawabata. An elderly man visits a unique brothel filled with sleeping young women. The customers are permitted only to sleep, but not have sex, with the girls, as they fantasize about what it was like to be young.
The House of Sleeping Beauties premiered at the Public Theater in 1983, directed by John Lone with Lenore Kletter.
