Ethan Coen has another set of one-act plays on the way.
The Atlantic Theater Company said Wednesday that the Academy Award winner — best known in the film world as half of the prolific Coen brothers — will present the world premiere next month of “Happy Hour,” his new play made up of three short comedies.
Previews will begin Nov. 16, with an official opening set for Dec. 5. The show, which closes Jan. 1, will be seen at the Signature Theatre Company’s Peter Norton Space while the Atlantic’s main stage is being renovated.
Coen, who has written three compiled short plays twice before — “Almost an Evening” and “Offices” — has penned one-third of “Relatively Speaking,” three one-acts on Broadway that includes works by Woody Allen and Elaine May.
