Synopsis

These four plays by Annie Baker, a distinctive new voice in the American theatre, are all set in the same small town in Vermont.

Includes: Circle Mirror Transformation , The Aliens , Body Awareness , and Nocturama .

"Baker has as natural an ear for how people talk - and shut up - as any American playwright of recent years [...] She is the aural equivalent of a good photo-realist painter, someone who makes us see the quotidian in such heightened detail that it looks almost shockingly new."

- Ben Brantley, The New York Times
