NB: These plays are suitable for sixth-form groups only
by Annie Baker
Cast: 3f, 1m
Synopsis: A young couple, struggling to stay together, book into a bedand-breakfast in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, as part of a road trip around historic American sites. Their innkeeper seems cheerful enough, but something about the place seems… off. Maybe it's the thousands of inanimate objects, watching.
Why it's great for study: The hypnotic effect of Annie Baker's signature, hyper-naturalistic style, and how this is fused with supernatural elements more usually found in ghost stories, is fascinating to unpick. It can be studied both as a detailed study of a relationship, but also as a masterclass in how to establish and develop mood and tone.
