BODY AWARENESS Opens Tonight at Burton Leavitt Theatre
By: Stephi Wild Feb. 28, 2019
Body Awareness is the first major play from Pulitzer Prize winner and MacArthur Fellow, Annie Baker. Having been heralded by the playwright as a "play about issues that isn't an 'issue play'" this show follows Phyllis, a psychology professor organizing a "Body Awareness Week" on campus, her partner Joyce, and Joyce's adult son Jared. The underlying tensions of the household are augmented by the presence of a visiting photographer, Frank, whose subjects of choice offend Phyllis. When Joyce begins to side more with Frank, and Jared begins going to him for advice, the nature of relationships begins to change.
