Mary Swanson just moved to Middletown. About to have her first child, she is eager to enjoy the neighborly bonds a small town promises. But life in Middletown is complicated: neighbors are near strangers and moments of connection are fleeting. Middletown is a playful, poignant portrait of a town with two lives, one ordinary and visible, the other epic and mysterious.

Behold the newest nobody of the funniest century yet. He's almost Christ-like, from a distance, in terms of height and weight. Listen closely or drift off uncontrollably as he speaks to you directly about the notion of home, about the notion of the world. A provocative new work by Pulitzer Prize finalist Will Eno.

People have been born into families since people started getting born at all. Playwrights have been trying to write family plays for a long time, too. And typically these plays try to answer endlessly complicated questions of blood and duty and inheritance and responsibility. This has to stop. Acclaimed playwright Will Eno brings his signature irreverence to this new comedy, which won the 2014 Obie and Lucille Lortel awards for Best New Play.

In "The Realistic Joneses," we meet Bob and Jennifer and their new neighbors, John and Pony, two suburban couples who have even more in common than their identical homes and their shared last names.

Hra Život podle Jonesových má jednoduchou expozici: manželé Bob a Jennifer Jonesovi se setkávají se svými novými sousedy Johnem a Pony Jonesovými. Postupně vyjde najevo, že mají společného víc než jenom příjmení. Jejich vztahy se začnou navzájem proplétat ve stínu vážné, nevyléčitelné choroby. Eno, často přirovnávaný k Beckettovi, ukazuje, jak absurdní může být snaha o komunikaci, a současně odhaluje skryté stránky naší úzkosti, strachu a osamělosti. Znepokojující téma Enovy hry ovšem neznamená, že jde o depresivní dílo vyvolávající...

"Behold the newest nobody of the funniest century yet. He's almost Christ-like, from a distance, in terms of height and weight. Listen closely or drift off uncontrollably, as he speaks to you directly about the notion of home, about the notion of the world. All of it delivered with the authority that is the special province of the unsure and the un-homed, which is a word he made up accidentally. The running time, if he doesn't die or think of anything else, is roughly one hour. "Title and Deed" is a provocative new work by Pulitzer Prize finalist and Horton Foote Prize winner Will Eno, whom...
