"e;[A] tender, funny, terrific new play. . . . Mr. Eno's voice, which teases out the poetry in the pedestrian and finds glinting humor in the static that infuses our faltering efforts to communicate, is as distinctive as any American playwright's today."e;The New York Times"e;Weird and wonderful . . . Eno's familiar sudden-shifting between profound and playful verbiage is delightfully disarming and sometimes awfully funny."e;VarietyPlays as funny and moving, as wonderful and weird as The Realistic Joneses do not appear often on Broadway. Or ever, really. Mr. Enos voice may be the most singular of his generation, but its humane, literate and slyly hilarious. For all the sadness woven into its fabric, The Realistic Joneses brought me a pleasurable rush virtually unmatched by anything Ive seen this season. The New York TimesAs usual, Enos dialogue is a marvel of compression and tonal control, trivial chitchat flipping into cosmic profundity with striking ease. Theres much to savor: the dry but meaningful banter, the joy of humans sharing time and space, battling the darkness with a joke or silence. Life in Enoland isnt what youd call realisticits more real than that. Time Out New York [An] elliptical, funny, dark and strangely moving new play. Eno is a writer with heart and compassion. Chicago TribuneEno's first-ever commercial foray ups the creative ante in a Broadway climate that can be resistant to new voices. [A] very fine play where laughter exists a heartbeat, or heartbreak, away from tears. The TelegraphMeet Bob and Jennifer and their new neighbors John and Pony, two suburban couples who have more in common than their identical last names. Boasting the playwright's quintessential existential quirkiness, this new comedy finds poetry in the banal while humorously exploring our ever-floundering efforts at communication. Listed as one of New York Times's Best Plays of 2012, The Realistic Joneses received its Broadway premiere in spring 2014, starring Toni Collete, Michael C. Hall, Tracy Letts and Marisa Tomei, and opening to rave reviews.Will Eno is the author of Thom Pain (based on nothing), which ran for a year Off-Broadway and was a 2005 Pulitzer Prize finalist.
