JOHN by Annie Baker

The week after Thanksgiving.

A bed and breakfast in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

A cheerful innkeeper.

A young couple struggling to stay together.

Thousands of inanimate objects, watching.

A simple enough description, but Annie Baker’s fascinating play takes a look at what theatre can be and builds a world all its own. Baker's hyper-realism bleeds into the eerily super-natural in this quiet tale, where actors and audiences alike delve into ideas of self, mortality, and the solitude of human experience.
