THE FLICK by Annie Baker

Dramatic Comedy: 3m, 1f Winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Drama Winner of the 2013 Obie Award for Playwriting Winner of the 2013 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize From the back cover: In a run-down movie theater in central Massachusetts, three underpaid employees mop the floors and attend to one of the last 35mm film projectors in the state. Their tiny battles and not-so-tiny heartbreaks play out in the empty aisles, becoming more gripping than the lackluster, second-run movies on screen. With keen insight and a finely-tuned comic eye, The Flick is a hilarious and heart-rending cry for authenticity in a fast-changing world. "Hilarious and touching [...] Annie Baker, one of the freshest and most talented dramatists to emerge Off Broadway in the past decade, writes with tenderness and keen insight. Her writing is a great blessing to performers: The Flick draws out nakedly truthful and unadorned acting. This lovingly observed play will sink deep into your consciousness." --The New York Time
