<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A moving and funny new play exploring the universe of a small American town.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Will Eno is an original, a maverick wordsmith whose weird, wry dramas gurgle with the grim humor and pain of life.--<i>Guardian</i></p> <p/>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 (<i>New York Times</i>); <i>Middletown</i> features a wide array of characters--Cop, Mechanic, Librarian, to name just a few--who together populate the play with his trademark subversive style. <p/><b>Will Eno</b> is the author of <i>Thom Pain (based on nothing)</i>, which ran for a year Off-Broadway and was a 2005 Pulitzer Prize finalist. Other works include <i>Oh, the Humanity and other good intentions</i>, <i>The Flu Season</i>, <i>Tragedy: a tragedy</i>, and <i>Intermission</i>.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><br>"Richly engaging and satisfyingly theatrical, with heart and humor.

Brilliant new work!" -- <em>Time Out Chicago</em> <p/>"A piece that's a bit like Thornton Wilder's <em>Our Town</em> if it had been penned by Dr. Seuss and edited by Samuel Beckett." -- Chris Jones, <em>Chicago Tribune</em> <p/>"A vision of Americana that is dark, gentle and laced with witty humor." - Mary Houlihan, <em>Chicago Sun-Times</em> <p/>"Will Eno cleverly and sincerely pays homage to Wilder's classic (<em>Our Town</em>)" - Misha Berson, <em>Seattle Times</em> <p/>"Very funny ... laced with myriad instants of absurdity" - Margaret Friedman, <em>Seattle Weekly</em> <p/><br>
