Featuring a post-screening conversation with Playwriting Fellows and Screeenwriters John and Miranda Adekoje, from the Huntington Theatre Company's stunning new production of Merrily We Roll Along, directed by Maria Friedman and featuring music by Stephen Sondheim.

The Coen Brothers set their sights on 1940s Hollywood in this acclaimed satire, which won the Palme d'Or as well as the Best Actor (John Turturro) and Director (Joel Coen) prizes at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival.

Barton Fink (Turturro) is an intellectual New York playwright who accepts an offer to write movie scripts in Tinseltown, but finds himself with writer's block when required to do a B-movie script. His neighbor (John Goodman) tries to help, but he continues to struggle as a bizarre sequence of events distracts him. 

After the screening of Barton Fink, guests from the Huntington's new production of Merrily We Roll Along will join in a conversation about these two iconic depictions of the high price of success in show business.
