Will Eno is an original, a maverick wordsmith whose weird, wry dramas
gurgle with the grim humor and pain of life.--Guardian
As a friendship develops between longtime resident John Dodge and new
arrival Mary Swanson, the lives of the inhabitants of Middletown
intersect in strange and poignant ways in a journey that takes them from
the local library to outer space and points between. Will Eno has been
called a Samuel Beckett for the John Stewart generation (New York
Times); Middletown features a wide array of characters--Cop,
Mechanic, Librarian, to name just a few--who together populate the play
with his trademark subversive style.
Will Eno is the author of Thom Pain (based on nothing), which ran
for a year Off-Broadway and was a 2005 Pulitzer Prize finalist. Other
works include Oh, the Humanity and other good intentions, The Flu
Season, Tragedy: a tragedy, and Intermission.
