JOHN

JOHN

Presented by Dobama Theatre at Dobama Theatre

One cold November night, Elias and Jenny, a young couple struggling to stay together, stop at a bed & breakfast in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. During their visit they encounter a cheerful innkeeper, her blind friend, and an eerie world crammed with toys, figurines and one very odd American Girl doll. This mystic puzzle of a play is full of surprises, both human and supernatural.

John first debuted at the Signature Theatre in New York in 2015 in a production directed by Sam Gold. It was ranked in the Top Ten Plays and Musicals of 2015 by Time and at Number 8 in The Hollywood Reporter’s “Best New York Theater of 2015.”  It has been nominated for the Lucille Lortel Award, the Drama Desk Awards, and the Obie Awards. The New Yorker states “Annie Baker’s JOHN is so good on so many levels that it casts a unique and brilliant light… [a] haunting and haunted meditation on topics she has made so singularly her own: the omnipresence of loneliness in human life, and the troubled search for love and lasting connection.”
