Signature Theatre has announced plans to present the world premiere of Will Eno's Wakey, Wakey beginning February 7 in advance of a February 27 opening. The production is set to play through March 19 in the Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre at the Pershing Square Signature Center.

Wakey, Wakey is described as follows: "What are we here for? Is time a friend or an enemy? Do we all eventually end up in the same place, but take different routes to get there? This funny, moving, and thought-provoking new play…recognizes the importance of life's simple pleasures. (All of which might sound dreary, but there’s a chance this will be a really good experience.)"

Eno, a Residency Five playwright at Signature, will also direct the production. Casting and design team will be announced at a later date.
