The Flu Season and Other Plays

"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" "(The 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."
