The National Theatre presents John, by Annie Baker, directed by James MacDonald.
The week after Thanksgiving. A bed & breakfast in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. A cheerful innkeeper. A young couple struggling to stay together. Thousands of inanimate objects, watching.
"We are lucky enough to be living in the era of Annie Baker" - The New Yorker
An uncanny new play by Annie Baker, whose Pulitzer Prize-winning play The Flick had a sold-out, critically-acclaimed run at the NT in 2016.James MacDonald directs the European premiere, with design by Chloe Lamford, lighting by Peter Mumford and sound design by Christopher Shutt. The cast includes Marylouise Burke, Tom Mothersdale, Anneika Rose and June Watson.
