Bob Abelman

Annie Baker's long, leisurely and 2014 Pulitzer Prize-winning ode to small, solitary lives is given the glorious treatment it deserves and we have come to expect from the Dobama Theatre.

The Flick is a masterfully written, performed and produced play.  It is dramatic theater at its finest.  With that said, there are some who go to the theater for action or slapstick comedy or intrigue.  This script isn’t for them.  But, for those who want to be drawn in by sheer spoken words and fine acting…this is an absolute MUST SEE!

This is one of those Slice of Life dramas that make live theater so intriguing. No blood is spilled, no fights break out and the excitement level is kept pretty low key. The most dramatic moments happen between the scenes when famous movie themes are blasted (including the earth shaking THX intro). Yet we find ourselves drawn into the lives of these individuals hoping for the best in their lives.

In this quietly wonderful piece by Annie Baker, we encounter three movie theater employees in the Boston area who are measuring out their lives with brooms and dustpans.
