"Mr. Eno has established himself as one of the most vital, distinctive
voices in the American theater over the past decade. Once encountered,
his style is not likely to be forgotten: Wryly humorous and deeply
engaged in the odd kinks and quirks of language and its fuzzy
relationship to meaning, his plays are also infused with a haunted
awareness of, and a sorrowful compassion for, the fundamental solitude
of existence." -New York Times
"An anarchic and deliciously clever play." -Huffington Post
This wildly funny and subversive take on the archetypal family drama is
dense with authentic feeling and pain and it ultimately evolves into
something haunted and mysterious and grand, even hopeful. The Open
House won a Drama Desk Award, the 2014 Obie Award for Playwriting and
the 2014 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Play. It was on the Top
Ten Plays of 2014 lists of TIME magazine, Time Out New York and the
NY Daily News.
Will Eno is the author of The Realistic Joneses and Thom Pain
(based on nothing) , which was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Other works
include Middletown, The Flu Season, Tragedy: a tragedy, Intermission
and Gnit. He is a Residency Five Fellow at Signature Theatre in New
York. His many awards include the PEN/Laura Pels Award, the Horton Foote
Prize and the first-ever Marian Seldes/Garson Kanin Fellowship by the
Theater Hall of Fame.
