'Annie Baker's play is not just good. It is not just new. It's a
new sort of good'
*Observer*
'Astonishing... The beauty of Baker's play lies in its portrait of
three quietly desperate people... This is like no other play in
London. It moves at its own unhurried pace and magically exposes
the souls of lonely people in danger of being left behind in our
new, digitised age'
*Guardian*
'A portrait of a generation struggling through life without
moorings, that also beautifully and often hilariously observes the
strange, fragile nature of work friendships, enforced intimacy with
virtual strangers'
*Time Out*
'An understated epic of dreams, disappointment and tenacity by
America's greatest living dramatist'
*The Stage*
'What makes The Flick so original and captivating is the way form
really does match content… [conjures] a stillness that is almost
like a painting, rewarding patience, forcing you to pay attention.
It's a mighty achievement'
*WhatsOnStage*
'Wondrous, devastating, hilarious, and infinitely touching. A play
to be treasured'
*New York Times*
'The Flick offers that beautiful, exquisitely alive feeling you get
during the best moments of theatre – that life is too wonderful to
be believed'
*New Yorker*
