The Open House (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

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. They try to answer the question, "Can things really change?" People have been trying nobly for years and years to have plays solve in two hours what hasn't been solved in many lifetimes. This has to stop. The Open House is an hour and twenty minutes, with no intermission.

His play Thom Pain (based on nothing), played at the Edinburgh Festival, the Soho Theatre in London, the DR2 in New York, and in translation around the world.

His other plays include Tragedy: a tragedy and The Flu Season. In 2012 Eno was a joint recipient of the PEN award for an American Playwright in Mid-Career. Praise for Will Eno's writing: "Mr. Eno's voice is so assuredly his own, simultaneously delicate and audacious in its measurements of poetry, philosophy and Monty Pythonesque silliness" - New York Times; "He strikes me as being the real thing, a real playwright. He takes every chance. And Will keeps the voice his own: he has an awareness of the human condition I wish more people his age had." - Edward Albee
