“My love, this is more than retribution.  This is idealism.”

Spring 1946.  The plan was simple – a German for every Jew.  Its execution would be swift, clean, its impact undeniable.  In this daring, new romantic thriller inspired by actual events, a band of young Jewish freedom fighters attempts to avenge a society’s wrongs – if they can keep from tearing each other apart in the process.

“If.  I.  Wanted.  To.  Become.  An.  Actress.  I.  Would.  Just.  Go.  Home.”

When four lost New Englanders enrolled in Marty’s community center drama class experiment with harmless games, hearts are quietly torn apart and tiny wars of epic proportions are waged and won.  Annie Baker’s new comedy is a beautifully crafted diorama, a petri dish in which we see, with hilarious detail and clarity, the antic sadness of a motley quintet.

Who are the people in your neighborhood? In 1959, a white family moves out.  In 2009, a white family moves in.  In the intervening years, change overtakes a neighborhood, along with attitudes, inhabitants, and property values.  Loosely inspired by Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun, Bruce Norris's pitch-black comedy takes on the specter of gentrification in our communities, leaving no stone unturned in the process.
