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, for a project called Theater Of The New Ear. 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.
