Sleeping with Plato

Eliza Stefanidi's Sleeping With Plato is a fraught, powerful and often upliftingly surreal exploration of the idea of Crisis - linguistic, socio-economic, and psychological. Bipolar since 24 and forced to leave behind a promising career as a dancer, Stefanidi - fluent in English and Greek, and a citizen of both Greece and Britain - has created a moving, funny, and sometimes angry howl of pain and ecstasy, showing that even out of tangled thoughts can new ideas be born.
