Darker still was the startling work from Taipei National University of the Arts. Come to Sleep is a two-hander set in an eponymously titled inn. A man with a broken leg arrives looking for somewhere to sleep. His cute, but increasingly disturbing landlady cohabits a single sleeping room filled with soft toys. They discuss a bombing from 30 years ago. By the end we understand that the soft toys represent the bodies of dead children. This impeccable production of a Japanese play apparently written in the 1960s paid tribute to the 2014 protest by Taiwan’s Sunflower Student Movement.
