Synopsis

Four-time OscarĀ® winner Ethan Coen and two-time Oscar nominee Elaine May join with Woody Allen for a one-of-a-kind Broadway experience of one-act plays that explore the often outrageous reality of relatives.
Each one-act play springs from a different branch of the family tree.

-In TALKING CURE, Ethan Coen uncovers the sort of insanity that can only come from family.

-In GEORGE IS DEAD, Elaine May explores the hilarity of death.

-In HONEYMOON MOTEL, Woody Allen invites you to the sort of wedding day you won't forget.
