Will Eno's "Wakey Wakey" at Signature Theater-I Needed a Shakey Shakey zzzzzz

Will Eno (b Amer 1965) is an award winning playwright.  He received an Obie Award for "The Open House" ('14) and his play "Thom Pain" ('05) was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.  "Wakey Wakey," a 1 Act, 2 character play was a snooze.  Granted, Eno's brilliance shined through much of this sluggish "wake up & smell the coffee" trope play.  I'd have benefited from a strong brew instead of the free snacks, drinks & give-aways that came at the end of this interminably long 80 minutes: "tick-tock, tick-tock."  Eno possess a powerful way with words.  However, this felt like a drill riffing on Thomas Paine's poem "Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night."  "Thom Pain" may have been worthy of a Pulitzer Prize nod but in "Wakey Wakey" it was me nodding off…  Guy (Michael Emerson, ABC' "Lost") is an elderly man in a wheelchair, although, amazingly he can walk, albeit it at a snail's pace.  Guy (which could be any guy got it?) has the stage to himself for the majority of the clock.  He entertains & cajoles by reading from note cards, showing a video presentation & requesting off-stage assistance for  music that never materialized.  (However, the pre-show audio was Ravel's "Bolero.")  The just of Guy's presentation was an elegy of his life bemoaning how quickly time passes "It is now I thought I had more time."  The play not sombre, rather it was a celebration of life and all those special moments that sparkle & resonate in retrospect.  Lisa (January Lavoy,  "Two Trains Running") played Guy's nurse providing care & comfort in his waning days.  "Wakey Wakey" will not be winning any accolades.
