LIDA health-care epic: Home theater for what ails us

The Denver Post: The LIDA Project, an experimental theatrical collective best known for infecting audiences' minds with disturbing takes on everything from Columbine to 9/11 to the global economic crisis, has now set its sights squarely on health.
"Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" is the 17-year-old company's most comprehensive and welcoming undertaking to date. This unprecedented, original epic is actually a series of six separate plays that examine "health and care," as artistic director Brian Freeland describes it, "as well as mortality and dying in the United States."
