by Will Eno (Author)
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.
