ABOUT THE PLAY

Middletown is a deeply moving and funny play that explores the universe of a small American town. 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 compelling ways. The work of playwright Will Eno has won the Obie Award, the Lortel Award for Outstanding Play, and the Drama Desk Award. Eno is also a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. His play, Middletown, is a powerful and poignant meditation on birth, death and points between.

​

“Delicate, moving, piercing, tart, funny, gorgeous. Mr. Eno’s gift may be unmatched among writers of his generation. Glimmers from start to finish.”
— New York Times.
