Review - The Flick
by Michael Dale - March 16, 2013
On paper, Annie Baker's The Flick is 122 pages long. For a typical play this would mean a running time somewhere between two hours and fifteen minutes and two and a half hours at the most. On stage at Playwrights Horizons, the performance I attended of director Sam Gold's production of The Flick ran a bit over three hours and fifteen minutes.
