From Ethan Coen, Elaine May, and Woody Allen come three wildly different kinds of comedy! RELATIVELY SPEAKING.
Julie Kavner, Steve Guttenberg, Mark Linn-Baker, and Marlo Thomas head a 16-person cast in this must-see evening of one-act plays that explore the often outrageous reality of relatives. Directed by John Turturro.
Each one-act play springs from a different branch of the family tree, resulting in three very different kinds of comedy. In "Talking Cure," Ethan Coen uncovers the sort of insanity that can only come from family. In "George is Dead," Elaine May explores the hilarity of death. And in "Honeymoon Motel," Woody Allen invites you to the sort of wedding day you won't forget.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Relatively Speaking
Relatively Speaking
5 / 10
The idea of watching three short comedies written by Woody Allen, Elaine May, and Ethan Coen, respectively sounds more than fine on paper. And there are times during Relatively Speaking when you are reminded that the combined credit list of these big-screen deities of drollness includes Annie Hall, Heaven Can Wait, and Fargo. Alas, there are times when you are reminded that these are also the folks who brought us Whatever Works, the Ladykillers remake, and Ishtar.
'Relatively Speaking'
7 / 10
First the good news: Woody Allen is as funny as ever. His one-act play 'Honeymoon Motel,' the capper on an evening of three short works collectively titled 'Relatively Speaking,' has so many laughs packed into its 60-minute running time that audiences had better make sure their health insurance is paid up. They'll need treatment for aching jaws and smarting bellies from laughing so hard. However, the preceding two pieces, Ethan Coen's 'Talking Cure' and Elaine May's 'George Is Dead,' provide mixed results.
