The Flu Season and Other Plays

The Flu Season and Other Plays

<div><BR>“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<br /> <br />“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.”—<I>Guardian</I><BR> <br />Winner of the 2004 Oppenheimer Award for best New York debut by an American playwright, <I>The Flu Season</I> 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.<br /> <br />Will Eno has been called “a Samuel Beckett for the Jon Stewart generation” <I>(The New York Times)</I>—he is a playwright with an extraordinary voice and a singular theatrical vision. Also included in this volume are <I>Tragedy: A Tragedy</I> and <I>Intermission.</I></div>
