Five women in Northern California lie outside on chaise longues and philosophise. A new play by Annie Baker (The Flick, The Antipodes) is a surprisingly funny inquiry into the complexity of suffering, and what it means to desire in a body that’s failing you. James Macdonald (The Welkin, John) directs this bold, dreamlike story, direct from a run at the Tony Award-winning Atlantic Theater Company in New York. —Jensen Davis
