John by Annie Baker
The week after Thanksgiving. A bed & breakfast in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. A cheerful innkeeper. A young couple struggling to stay together. Thousands of inanimate objects, watching.
The description by the playwright of the setting is simple, but Annie Baker's compelling new work is revolutionary in theme and structure and challenges the boundaries of what theatre can be. A kind of magical super-realism permeates throughout this quietly evolving tale, with both the actors and the audience fully vested together in a mesmerizing exploration of the frailty and loneliness of human experience.
The Flick (The Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, Obie Award), The Aliens (Obie Award), Circle Mirror Transformation (Obie Award), and Body Awareness are among Annie Baker's plays. Her work has been shown in over a hundred theaters around the United States. and in over a dozen nations around the world. A Guggenheim Fellowship, the Steinberg Playwright Award, and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award are among his recent accolades. She is a Signature Theatre resident playwright.
