“Funny, heartbreaking, sly and unblinking.” – New York Magazine
Critic's Pick! "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 Times, Read More Here
