Playwrights

Off-Broadway

Our first conversation features Mark Blankenship (editor of

TDF Stages

) and Ben Coleman (literary supervisor at Samuel French). Over glasses of fine pink wine, the gents discuss Annie Baker's Pulitzer Prize-winning drama

The Flick.

What makes the play tick? Why does it stick in the brain? What does it have to say about being a wage-earning American in 2015? This episode digs into those questions… and ends with a lively movie trivia game.
