Different dreams… Meet Ethan and Gabe: the picture-perfect devoted couple. They may have drifted to different ends of the political spectrum, but their marriage still has its spark. Then Ethan makes a shocking announcement: he wants to run for Congress as a Republican. And he will only do it with progressive Gabe’s blessing. Kate is a reporter – but the adrenaline rush of chasing a story has lost its thrill. When she reconnects with her ex-girlfriend Nicole, a frustrated stay-at-home mom, it upends both their lives. Each of them is forced to ask themselves: how do we bridge the gap between who we are and who we aspire to be? A sharply observed comedy of manners about public image versus private life, How to Sleep at Night dissects family ties stretched thin by ambition. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––- ‘Witty and well-paced’ OBSERVER 'Funny, charming… infused with warmth, depth and engrossing storylines' WASHINGTON POST 'Has the feel of whispered secrets exchanged over cocktails with your smartest friend' JENNY JACKSON 'Insightful, poignant and laugh-out-loud funny… a delight' J.
