"Will Eno is one of the finest younger playwrights I have come across in
a number of years. His work is inventive, disciplined and, at the same
time, wild and evocative. His ear is splendid and his mind is
agile."--Edward Albee
"An original, a maverick wordsmith whose weird, wry dramas gurgle with
the grim humor and pain of life. Eno specializes in the connections of
the unconnected, the apologetic murmurings of the
disengaged."--Guardian
Winner of the 2004 Oppenheimer Award for best New York debut by an
American playwright, The Flu Season is a reluctant love story, in
spite of itself. Set in a hospital and a theater, it is a play that
revels in ambivalence and derives a flailing energy from its doubts
whether a love story is ever really a love story.
Will Eno has been called "a Samuel Beckett for the Jon Stewart
generation" (New York Times)--he is a playwright with an extraordinary
voice and a singular theatrical vision. Also included in this volume are
Tragedy: A Tragedy and Intermission.
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.
