WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Relatively Speaking is comprised of three one-act comedies springing from a different branch of the family tree. In Talking Cure, Ethan Coen uncovers the sort of insanity than can only come from family. In George is Dead, Elaine May explores the hilarity of death. And in Honeymoon Motel, Woody Allen invites you to the sort of wedding day you won't forget.

RE:what's funny?
Certainly NOT this show! I cant remember anything this bad on Broadway. Marlo Thomas tries to establish a character but, sadly she dosent have much with which to work. The Cohen play is just plain awful. Allens work not much better. Youve been warned.

A few hearty laughs can be found in the winsome, if not always winning, trio of one-acts that comprise Relatively Speaking, now playing at Broadway's Brooks Atkinson Theatre.

The evening begins with Coen's bifurcated Talking Cure, which starts with a series of sessions between Larry (a menacingly intense, yet funny, Danny Hoch) and his seemingly court-appointed shrink (Jason Kravits) after a violent outburst Larry had at work.
