A few words about the project

Two disillusioned thirtysomethings and close friends spend their days in the back of a small country cafe, discussing music and poetry. They attract the new employee of the store to their company and decide to teach him everything they know. They introduce him to their world of magic mushrooms, philosophical discussions and big bands that never existed.

Through the gift of humor, empathy and truly compassionate observation of modern Western man Annie Baker, one of the freshest voices to come out of America in recent years, introduces us to three cult heroes, three equally insignificant and remarkable people and puts modern society under the microscope by talking about the generation that never grew up, about its isolation and introversion that struggles with the need for companionship.

A penetrating play with vitriolic humor about friendship, art, love and death that leads its heroes to a quiet and tragically funny disaster while struggling with their “genius” as a trio of outcasts. A play about three people with an inner world that they cannot express until it turns against them and leads them to eat themselves alive without help, support and understanding from others.
