Relatively Speaking

Relatively Speaking at Brooks Atkinson Theater

Why see Relatively Speaking?

Brand new to Broadway is Relatively Speaking, a show consisting of three one-act comedies about mothers, daughters, husbands, wives, parents and children. A heartfelt and hilarious evening revolving around the insanity that can only come from family!

Talk Therapy, in which Ethan Coen "uncovers the sort of insanity that can come only from family," includes Danny Hoch, Katherine Borowitz, Jason Kravits and Fred Melamed.

George is Dead, in which Elaine May "explores the hilarity of death," comprises Lisa Emery, Fred Melamed, Patricia O’Connell, Grant Shaud and Marlo Thomas.

Honeymoon Motel, in which Woody Allen "invites you to the sort of wedding day you won’t forget," features Caroline Aaron, Bill Army, Mark Linn-Baker, Ari Graynor, Steve Guttenberg, Julie Kavner, Jason Kravits, Richard Libertini and Grant Shaud.

Created by four-time Oscar winner Ethan Coen, two-time Oscar Nominee Elaine May and the undeniable talent that is Woody Allen, Relatively Speaking is not to be missed!

Fun AND provocative at the same time.....

So pleasantly surprised by this production--three one-act plays, each chock full of thought- provoking dialogue and humor impeccably delivered by an all-star cast. You'll leave the theatre with plenty to discuss: the nature of psychopathology, parental aspirations for children, our rampant neglect and mistreatment of those closest to us (even while we bend over backwards for acquaintances and strangers), and how societal conventions constrain us (?unnecessarily). So much going on in 2 hrs--Ethan Coen, Elaine May, and Woody Allen- -how could you go wrong??? Don't miss it--you'll get your money's worth and then some. ... Read more
