Annie Baker's mesmerising exploration of the frailty and loneliness of human experience.
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.
John is an utterly compelling play, a quietly evolving tale permeated with a kind of magical super-realism.
John is the second of Annie Baker's plays to have its UK premiere at the National Theatre, following the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Flick.
