Filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen and Charlie Kaufman bring the quirky drama and savage
wit of their award-winning movies to the stage in a live reading of two original sound plays set
to music by their long time collaborator, composer Carter Burwell. The Coens' "Sawbones" and
Kaufman's "Hope Leaves the Theater" come to life with eight extraordinary actors, scripts in hand,
joined on stage by a sound-effects artist and a live band to create multiple characters and
parallel realities, located somewhere between melodrama and comedy.
