Synopsis
Ethan Coen
Press Reviews
"Three one-act plays that offer a brisk, brutal assessment of the contemporary workplace…The numbing boredom, thankless bureaucracy, inane corporate-speak, underhand competition and sneaky power plays of office life are channeled into some funny, horrifyingly recognizable vignettes, peopled by characters with whom we've all worked. Coen draws mordant humor from the winner-loser divide and the self-loathing of the company man, with a quiet hint of melancholy in the artificial intimacy of office relationships."
— Variety
