A decade after winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama with 'The Flick,' the playwright Annie Baker is conquering movies.
has become a rare figure canonized in her youth. Devotion to her works can be felt wandering the halls of many a drama school, where dramaturgs argue over her themes, actors fret over her pauses, and playwrights present brazen imitations of her elegant scene constructions. For many, ascending to the heights of one’s field is an accomplishment that gives license to rest on one’s laurels.
HARRIS: I’m rooting for her for every newcomer award. I was like, “I’m going to call the Gothams, call BAFTA.” It has to happen. BAKER: For me, it’s something I wanted to do for a super-duper long time. And, I hate to say it, but the pandemic is what helped me finally write the screenplay. I was supposed to directin New York that spring and everything was canceled. We didn’t know when the theater was ever coming back. I had a 10-month-old and I really had a moment where I didn’t know what to do with myself. I knew I was going to take care of this baby.
BAKER: Thank you. It’s a very beautiful moment between a child and a parent where you’re like, “They’re separate from me. They have a perspective, they have sexuality, they have dysfunction. I still love them and they’re not a perfect love object.” It’s devastating and beautiful.
