360 Staff Pick: Molly Fox’s Birthday

Studio 360

A playwright swaps homes with a longtime collaborator and friend — an actress named Molly Fox. Throughout the course of a single day in the Dublin cottage, the unnamed playwright ruminates on her friendship with Molly as well as other friends and family members. All the while, she’s trying — and failing — to get to work on her next play. It’s a subtle, quiet, but tremendously moving exploration of intimacy, identity, and relationship.
