Ep 10 - The Flick by Annie Baker [2014 Winner]

In this episode, Randy and Tyler discuss the 2014 Pulitzer Prizewinning Play, The Flick, by Annie Baker.

Synopsis from Concord Theatricals: In a run-down movie theater in central Massachusetts, three underpaid employees mop the floors and attend to one of the last 35mm film projectors in the state. A hilarious and heart-rending cry for authenticity in a fast-changing world.

******* IN OUR NEXT EPISODE *******
Join us as we discuss the dramatic comedy Hell-Bent Fer Heaven by Hatcher Hughes, winner of the 1924 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Synopsis from Concord Theatricals: When Sid Hunt returns from WWI, he announces his plans to marry his sweetheart, Jude Lowry, much to the displeasure of his brother Rufe, who is also in love with Jude. Jude's brother Andy has an old grudge against the family, and after some illicit drinking, he decides to murder Sid. Sid hears of this plot and crosses a dam to escape from Andy, but Rufe, hoping to get Jude for himself, blows up the dam. A religious fanatic, Rufe justifies this murder by claiming that God commanded it. Meanwhile, flood waters are rising from unprecedented rainfall, and when the family gets into their boat, Rufe finds that there is no room for him. He is told that if God commanded him to murder Sid, surely God will protect Rufe from the flood.
