“Funny, heartbreaking, sly, and unblinking. The Flick may be the best argument anyone has yet made for the continued necessity, and profound uniqueness, of theater.”
— New York Magazine
“The Flick draws out nakedly truthful and unadorned acting. This lovingly observed play will sink deep into your consciousness.”
— The New York Times
“An almost anti-theatrical experience, The Flick creates a certain almost hypnotic fascination, whose duration, dramaturgy and acting promote a strange cracked intimacy between the protagonists and the spectators.”
— David Lefebvre – (Mon)Theatre.qc.ca

About the show

By

Annie Baker

Directed by

Rebecca Gibian

Presented by

Persephone Productions

In a run-down movie theatre 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 lacklustre, second-run movies on screen. With keen insight and a finely-tuned comic eye, The Flick is a hilarious and heartrending cry for authenticity in a fast-changing world.
