I saw on Instagram that the Old Vic is doing a production of Deep Azure, the only play written by Chadwick Boseman, at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. I'd like to check that out if I had the chance.
The Interestings follows six friends who bond over their shared dream of leading creative lives. From their first meeting as teenagers at a summer camp in the 1970s to decades later in New York City, that bond remains, but so much else has changed. Tracing their lives as they grow together and apart, The Interestings explores friendship, love, envy, class, art, money, and power—and how all of it can shift and tilt precipitously over the course of a life.
I haven't been able to get through Hamnet yet, which seems to be the winner here. But what I've seen so far is not super dialogue-heavy and really driven by Zhao's visual language. So I have a hard time seeing the stage version."
There's already a stage adaptation of the novel about to start a US tour, but AFAIK it's completely unrelated to Chloé Zhao's film outside of sharing source material.

1) Do you think the script reads funny? I was thinking of buying a copy(though the $40-odd price is a little steep) just so I could experience the show in some form, but I wonderif it's the delivery that creates the laughs more than the specificlines/plot developments.
But then again, given her shift towards absurdity comedy that she's had in her collaborations with Yorgos Lanthimos, maybe a limited run in something like Oh, Mary! could be what brings her back.

Her status has obviously risen quite a bit since then so she may not be interested in being a replacement again though."
